Please ask Lin Ke [1] to locate the marginal notes pertaining to the “xian” and “zhan” rhymes in the departing tone section (from 1960). Comrade Lin Ke: Regarding the “xian” and “zhan” rhymes, would you be so kind as to search carefully for them within the departing tone? I have been looking for quite a while now, but to no avail—how strange! It is also possible that they may be found in the rising tone section. [2] Mao Zedong, dated the 29th. Printed from the manuscript. Notes [1] Lin Ke was at that time the secretary of Mao Zedong’s office. [2] Both the “xian” and “zhan” rhymes are indeed located in the departing tone section.
