11. coveries of patient also may be added as a new class. The recurrent occurrences of inquiries about the general course of events of the next ten days,or what is known as [[underlined]]hsün[[/underlined]]-divination seem to be such a persistent practice that they deservedly form a class by themselves. So the following new classification is proposed: 1. Chi (祭) Sacrifice. 2. Kao (告) ^[[?]] 3. Hsiang (享) Offering. 4. Hsing-chih (行止) Going on and stopping. 5. Tien-yü (田漁) Hunting and fishing. 6. Cheng-fa (征伐) Military expedition. 7. Nien (年) Year's crop. 8. Yu(including wind rain and fog) (雨) ^[[Weather]] 9. Chi (霽) Sky clearing. 10. Liao ([[Chinese character]]) Recovering. 11. Hsün (旬) Ten-day-divination. 12. Miscellaneous. It is not to be supposed that this class is all inclusive, for a great number of these archaic characters are not yet deciphered; further research will likely lead to new discoveries. On the whole, however, the most important classes must be already in this list. In Lo Chêng-yü's compilation, the following frequencies have been given: [[strikethrough]]Lo's[[/strikethrough]] [[column 1]] Class 1 | 538 Class 2 | 32 Class 3 | 6 Class 4 | 177 Class 6 | 196 [[/column 1]] [[column 2]] Class 6 | 61 Class 7 | 34 Class 8 | 112 Class 9 | 47 [[/column 2]]
