randall_flagg Posted November 29, 2008 at 05:24 PM Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 at 05:24 PM I came across the character 市 in this sentence. This is an essay on aesthetics by 王世贞 , Ming Dynasty. Does anyone know what 市 means in this context? 愚谓谑，市， 讥诮亦不尽然, 顾用之何如耳“ Thanks, Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
