56. See, for example the introduction to Rethinking Confucianism, ed. Elman et al., 5.
57. These remarks on Yijing-related manuscripts in Vietnam are based primarily on my photographs and research notes from various trips to the Hanoi National Library. I would like to express here my appreciation to the librarians and staff of the HNL for their invaluable assistance. Many of the documents I consulted previously have now been digitized. See http://hannom.nlv.gov.vn/hannom/cgi-bin/hannom?a=cl&cl=CL1.
58. For an extended discussion of these issues, see Smith, “The Transnational Travels of Geomancy.”
59. A version of the Dịch phu tùng thuyết 易膚叢說 (Collected discussions on the surface of the Changes) is available at http://lib.nomfoundation.org/collection/1/volume/485/.

61. On Lê’s works on Taiyi and Liuren calculations, see Volkov, “Astrology and Hemerology in Traditional Vietnam,” 113–140.
62. For an excellent intellectual biography of Lê, consult Zhong Caijun 鐘彩鈞, Li Guidun de xueshu yu sixiang 黎貴惇的學術與思想 (The scholarship and thought of Li Guidun [Lê Quý Dôn]) (Taibei: Zhongyang yanjiuyuan Zhongguo wenzhe yanjiusuo, 2012). I am presently working on a systematic comparison of the Yijing-related ideas of Lê and Tasan.
63. See Wu Weiming, Dong Ya Yixue shilun, 143–147. For examples of Lê’s writings in translation, see Jayne Werner, John K. Whitmore, and George Dutton, eds., Sources of Vietnamese Tradition (New York: Columbia University Press, 2012), 163–164, 170–174, and 235–242. As these excerpts indicate (esp. his cosmological discussions on pp. 170–174), Lê had a remarkably open mind about different kinds of knowledge and different ways of knowing.
64. See the discussion in Smith, Fathoming the Cosmos, 171–173.
