@沈澄心: Thanks for the link! I'm just checking Shijing, and Legge translates 古人 as "the ancients", which would be sense 1. Do you think Legge's translation is right? Pinging @Frigoris as well. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 05:04, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

@Justinrleung, 沈澄心, as far as I know, on the textual (訓詁) level Legge followed both "the common sense" and the traditional 毛詩 school of interpretations fairly closely. On the textual level, "the ancients", as in 我思古人 from 《邶風·綠衣》 looks like SOP enough (= 古 + 人, persons of the past). --Frigoris (talk) 07:37, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
