There are two versions (the A and B version) of “The King Need Not Follow Suit!" from the Chu Bamboo Slips of the 1Varring States Period Collected in the Shanghai JHuseum (Volume 7). Nine bamboo strips exist for each version and the two versions have been preserved extremely well The text of “The King Need Not Follow Suit!" describes the story of the Chu official Fan Wu's admonition of King Zhao of Chu. Fan Wu uses a double entendre: “ the king has three pieces ofjade the size of three perime ter units (i.e. three very large pieces of jade)" or “ the king has three mistakes akin to that offlaws in jade" to lead into his main point and admonition. Fan Wu's word choice is clever and he is meticulous in his argu me肘， and the style of the text is very much like that of the Records of the 1Varring S tates The following article presents the author's personal opinions as to explanations of difficult to understand words in "The King Need Not Follow Suit." The annotations of the bamboo stri ps take the A version as the more accurate version, but also consider the B version. The discussion of diHicult to understand words is taken point by point with explanations given for every individual point.
