31. Chll Hsi's paraphrase was close to a verbatim transcript of SSlI-Illa Kuang's text
    in the T~II-('hih t'ung-chien 33:6a-h, hut since Chu Hsi'sfLm-li (introduction and expla-
    nation of the principles used in the text) explicitly remarked that he was emulating the
    cryptic, didactic style of The Spring and Autumn Annals to praise moral deeds and con-
    demn immoral ones. Yu Hyongwon obviously felt he had the license to interpret Chu
    Hsi's motivations.
    Thefan-li provides among other things the code language Chu Hsi used to assess praise
    and hlame with regard to legitimate rulers and usurpers, The opening lines ofHsiian-tsung's
    preface notes that the Tzu-chih t'lifl/i-chien kang-l1JlI is hased on the format of the Ch 'un-
    ch'iLl classic and its traditions (chuan, commentaries) and that its purpose is to "clarify
    Heaven's principles, rectify moral relationships, praise good, and blame bad .... "

33. For a thorough survey of the equal-field system and its antecedents, see Hori
    Toshikazu. Killdensci,
    34, Yu accepted the statement in the History (~lthe Korw) /)nzasty (KorwJsa) that the
    early Koryo c/IIJllsiklt'o land system was a replica of the equal-field system, but recent
    scholarship has demonstratcd that this interpretation was incorrect. See James B. Palais,
