Danny, recently sent me an email saying my Jian wasn't correct. This
wasn't the first time and won't be the last for my character gaffs.
Danny is gracious enough to let me know. With his permission this is
his correction:

¼þ jian4 aka Ö§ zhi1

Jim

PS I'm not sure of the bundle count. I'd have to buy a Jian off a
mule to find out.
