Crossroads (*siqu dao*; the *Erya* states: "A way leading in one direction is called *daolu*; two directions, *qipang*; three directions, *jupang*; four directions, *qu*; five directions, *kang*; six directions, *zhuang*; seven directions, *jucan*; eight directions, *chongqi*; nine directions, *da*." However, since roads frequently branch in four directions, common speech predominantly uses this term).
