蠱狐（上餘者反亦作野說文野狐妖獸也鬼所乘有三德其色中和小前大後死則首丘大於野干也）。

蠱狐: The first character is yú-zhě fan (yě); it is also written as 野. The Shuowen jiezi states: "The yěhú (wild fox) is an uncanny beast ridden by ghosts; it possesses three virtues: its colour is balanced and harmonious, it is small in front and large behind, and when dying it points its head toward its native hill; it is larger than a jackal (kroṣṭuka)."
