Driving a chariot (the pronunciation is [the fanqie] 魚 + 據. The Shangshu says: 'As if driving six horses with rotten reins.' Gu Yewang says: 'It means directing and employing horses.' The Zhouli says: 'With eight handles to instruct the king in governing (yu) his ministers: first is rank; second is emolument; third is granting; fourth is appointing; fifth is preserving; sixth is dispossessing; seventh is dismissing; eighth is execution.' In the six arts, the fourth is charioteering (yu). The Shuowen writes it as 御, to employ horses. 馭 is the ancient form of the character 御; it takes the step radical with xie. The Gujin zhengzi derives it from the horse radical with you as phonetic, being an associative compound. Xie is pronounced [with the fanqie] 星 + 夜; the step radical (chi) is pronounced [with the fanqie] 丑 + 尺).
