蝡動(潤允反山海經霈山有赤地在木上名曰蝡莊子云蝡蝡蟲動也說文亦同莊子從䖝䎡聲)。

Wriggling and moving (蝡動; [the first character is pronounced with the] fanqie rùn + [y]ǔn. The Shanhaijing says: “On Mount Pei there is red earth; that which is on trees is called ruǎn.” The Zhuangzi says: “Ruǎnruǎn means insects moving.” The Shuowen also agrees with the Zhuangzi; “it takes chóng ‘insect’ as semantic classifier and ruǎn as phonetic”).
