Shared and distinct. Usually seen in Buddhist texts referring to a situation where two theories， or two explanations of a certain phenomenon， have aspects that are the same， or "shared" 通， and aspects that are different， or "distinctive" 别. Similar in usage to 总别. Well-known East Asian Buddhist scholars such as Zhiyi 智顗 and Wonhyo 元晓 often used this terminology in their commentarial writings on Buddhist scriptures.
