      bi4ji4ng 畢竟 originated in the Tang period. According to SONG YINSHENG 1996: 160-161 and 201-202 the word has two meanings: one is 'finally; in the last analysis; in the end; etc.'. And in the other meaning the adverb adds emphasis to a question corresponding to Modern Chinese jiu1ji4ng 究竟 'actually; after all'. According to SONG there are 6 examples of the first meaning in ZTJ and six in BIANWEN, 14 examples of the second meaning in ZTJ and none in BIANWEN (see also CAO GUANGSHEN 1984: 116). The word survived in both meanings into later periods (e.g. JINGDECHUANDENGLU; HONGLOUMENG). In the course of time several forms of writing for bi4ji4ng became common: bi4ji4ng 必竟, zhi3ji4ng 止竟, zhi4ji4ng 至竟, bi4 畢, ji4ng 竟, zhi3 止, zhi4 至, etc.(see also ZHANG XIANG 1953).

    • Studies in the Language of Zǔtáng jí 祖堂集 ( ANDERL 2004B) p. 258-259

      Typical main verbs appearing with complement que4 are:

      fa4ng 放 'to release; let go', qi4 棄 'throw away', she3 捨 'remove'; shi1 失 'loose'; sha1o 燒 'burn'; li2 離 'to seperate; leave'; tuo1 脫 'to remove'; bo1 剝 'to peel'; ma2i 埋 'to bury'; chu2 除 'eliminate; get rid of'; hua4i 壞 'to destroy'; pa1o 拋 'to throw away; abandon'; chi1 喫 'to eat; drink'; tu3 吐 'to spit; vomit'; zhuo2 斫 'to chop off; cut'; hui4 諱 'to avoid'; wu1 污 'to stain; to defile'; ya3 啞 'to mute'; xia1 瞎 'to blind'; gua1n 關 'to shut; to lock'.

      Most of the verbs belong to the semantic field V{remove} and que4 indicates that this removal is performed to its full, often resulting in the permanent removal, seperation from, or even destruction of the object. Often que4 also adds the notion that the object involved is beyond repair, i.e. the damaging affect on the object is permanent and not reversible.

      546) ZTJ 5.111; WU: 437

      “某甲自住此山，"Since I have lived on this mountain

      未曾瞎卻一師僧眼。”I have never blinded the eyes of (i.e. deceived) a single monk."

      547) ZTJ 5.104; WU: 431

      “早是污卻也。”"It has already been defiled."

      548) ZTJ 5.058; WU: 403

      “除卻這個色，"After having removed this form,

      還更有色也無？”is there an additional form?"

      This is one of the rare examples where que4 follows a disyllabic verb (fa1-qia3n 發遣 'send away'):

      549) ZTJ 5.061; WU: 404

      行者隨童子到五祖處，The Postulant followed the child to the place of the Fifth Patriarch

      五祖發遣卻童子後，and after the Fifth Patriarch had sent away the child

      遂改盧行者名為慧能，he then changed the name of Postulant Lu2 to Hui4ne2ng,

      授與衣缽，and bestowed the monk's robe and bowl [on him],

      傳為六祖。giving him the transmission as Sixth Patriarch.
