The Kaogongji mentions various glues: deer glue, white horse glue, red-and-white ox glue, large red rat glue, black fish glue, and yellow rhino glue. Zheng says they are all made by boiling hides. Gu Yewang says: “Glue is that which joins things together and makes them stick to one another.” The Shuowen says: “Sticky; made from animal hides. Composed of 'meat' (rou 肉) with miu 謬 as phonetic.” The second character is [pronounced with the] fanqie nü-lian 女廉. The Kaosheng says: “Sticky and firm.” The Cang Jie pian says: “Sticking together.” The Shuowen says: “Adhering to one another.
