Thoroughfares and lanes (衢巷: the upper character is [pronounced] 具于 fanqie. The *Erya* states: "That which reaches in four directions is called a thoroughfare (衢)." Guo [Pu]'s commentary states: "A thoroughfare refers to intersecting roads opening out in four directions." Gu Yewang investigates: The *Gongyang zhuan* says: "Left behind at the thoroughfares and roads," which is this. The *Shuowen [jiezi]* states: "Derived from 彳 and 亍 (行), with 瞿 as its phonetic component." The lower character is 胡絳 fanqie. The *Mao Commentary* to the *Classic of Poetry* states: "A lane (巷) is a road within a village." It also states: "A lane is outside the gates." Zheng [Xuan]'s commentary to the *Record of Rites* states: "A lane is like a neighborhood gate (閭)." The *Shuowen* states: "A lane is a path within a village." It is also written as 衖, derived from 行 with 共 as its phonetic component; or written as 𨜕. These three characters are used interchangeably. 絳 is pronounced 降).
