如鶡(寒葛反猛鳥也山海經云煇諸之山多鶡郭注云似雉而大青色頭有毛角鬪死乃止出上黨郡漢書音義曰鶡鳥也以其尾為武士帽表勇也說文從鳥曷聲也)。

Like an eared pheasant (如鶡: [鶡 is pronounced] 寒 + 葛 [hé]. A fierce bird. The Shanhai jing says: 'On Mount Huizhu there are many eared pheasants.' Guo's commentary says: 'Resembling a pheasant but larger, bluish-green in color, with feathery horns on its head; it fights until it dies; produced in Shangdang Commandery.' The Hanshu yinyi says: '鶡 is a bird; its tail is used to adorn warriors' caps to represent courage.' The Shuowen says: 'It derives from 鳥 [bird] with 曷 as phonetic').
