The main topics of this paper revolve around the Tsinghua Bamboo Slips VI, Madam Wu-Jiang Plans for Her Son. The paper provides alternative interpretations of terms and sentences and new translations of some paragraphs. The discussions proceed in three directions: (1) interpretive reading of individual characters, for example, the character ＂Guei＂ in Slips 1 and 12 should be interpreted as ＂planning,＂ the term ＂Yao-Wen＂ in Slip 3 as ＂offering one's condolence,＂ and textual research on ＂Bei-er,＂ ＂Gong＂ and ＂Zai＂; (2) linguistic structure, for instance, the character ＂Guei＂ means ＂planning＂ only if it and the term right behind form a verb-object structure, and the object per se is a beneficiary, other structures such as ＂having able and virtuous courtiers＂ are also analyzed; and (3) semanteme and paragraph explanations, including Slip 5 ＂how can you not value these able and virtuous courtiers,＂ Slip 15 ＂how can I wait until the courtiers are incriminated and insults are inflicted on my deceased father,＂ and Slip 17 ＂how can I reluctantly try when the worries of my deceased father are not yet alleviated.＂
