馳騁（上雉離反俗用字也正或作駞此字雖是正體為有兩音又音陀今且從俗作馳顧野王云馳走也廣雅馳奔也下勅郢反杜預注左傳云騁馳也走也廣雅騁奔也說文直驅也從馬𦥚聲也）。

Galloping and racing: the upper character has the fanqie *zhi* + *li*. It is a popular character form, while the standard form is sometimes written as [a variant of] 駞. Although that character is the standard graph, because it has two readings and is also pronounced *tuo*, for now we follow the popular form and write 馳. Gu Yewang states: '馳 (*chi*) means to run.' The *Guangya* states: '馳 means to gallop.' The lower character has the fanqie *chi* + *ying*. Du Yu's commentary on the *Zuo zhuan* states: '騁 (*cheng*) means to gallop; it means to run.' The *Guangya* states: '騁 means to gallop.' The *Shuowen* states: 'It means to drive straight ahead.' It has the horse radical (馬) and 𦥚 as its phonetic component.
