V : these 4 lines are expressing very Confucian ideas; Confucius himself
said "Let a person be stimulated by poetry, established in character by
the rules of propriety, and perfected by music." (Analects 8.8)
W : the given symbol makes no sense here, but presumably means the
opposite of "gorging"
X : while the standard definition is "discipline", according to Waley it
literally means "main thread" (as in "of the teaching")
Y : presumably, do not pull desirable things towards you and push
undesirable things away
Z : creatures will not "cause harm" in that they will not confuse the
senses or the heart/mind (mentioned above)
