饕餮(上湯高反杜注左傳云貪財曰饕或作叨俗字也下天結反說文云貪食曰餮博雅作飻上二字竝下形上聲字)。

Voracious gluttony (饕餮: the upper character [饕] is pronounced *t[ang]* + *[g]ao* [tāo]. Du [Yu]'s commentary to the *Zuo zhuan* says: "Coveting wealth is called *tao*." It is also written 叨, a vulgar character. The lower character [餮] is pronounced *t[ian]* + *[j]ie* [tiè]. The *Shuowen [jiezi]* says: "Coveting food is called *tie*." The *Boya* writes it as 飻. Both characters above have the signific below and the phonetic above).
