Pulling down and spinning fine cloth (chou cui fang die; cui has the sound chui-rui fan. Cui refers to the fine down and fur of birds and beasts. Zheng's commentary on the Liji says: "Cui is fine, dense down." Kong's commentary on the Shangshu says: "Soft cui is fine hair." The Shuowen jiezi also says: "The fine hair of beasts." Upon examination, 'garments of down' are made by collecting the soft, fine five-colored feathers and hairs of birds and beasts and spinning and weaving them into patterned carpets to serve as superior garments, worn by wheel-turning sage kings. Fang has the sound fang-wang fan. Du's commentary on the Zuo zhuan says: "Fang means twisting into thread." The Gujin zhengzi states: "It takes the silk classifier and fang as phonetic." The lower character has the sound die. Die is cotton grass in the Western countries, whose flowers are like willow catkins; the local populace there pulls and twists them to spin into thread and weave into cloth, which is called die. Nian [twist] has the sound nian-dian fan).
