薄蝕（上傍莫反下音食案日月薄蝕者虧缺也凡日蝕是陰陽相交日掩月蝕暗虛蝕神羅睺之所暎也日蝕人君之災國有興廢之象宜修德月蝕者儲君妃后大臣之災或水旱豊儉之先相古文從飤作蝕說文從虫食聲或名交蝕）。

薄蝕 (*bóshí*, eclipses; the upper character has the fanqie 傍莫 [*bàng* + *mò*]; the lower character is pronounced *shí*. Note: Eclipses of the sun and moon mean diminishing and waning. In general, a solar eclipse occurs when the yin and yang intersect and the sun is covered; a lunar eclipse is when the dark void, the eclipse-deity Rāhu, obscures it. A solar eclipse is a calamity for the ruler of men, an omen of the rise or fall of the state, and he ought to cultivate virtue. A lunar eclipse is a calamity for the crown prince, empresses, consorts, and great ministers, or a herald of flood, drought, abundance, or scarcity. In ancient-script characters it is written with 飤 as 蝕. The *Shuowen* has it with the insect radical and the sound 食; it is also called an intersecting eclipse [交蝕]).
