Lunar eclipse (𧐂: *dź-*, *dźi* + *tśiək* fanqie. Du Yu's commentary on the Chunqiu says: 'The sun travels slowly, completing one revolution of the heavens in a year; the moon travels swiftly, completing one revolution in a month. The sun and moon meet twelve times in a year. Yet although they meet, there is no eclipse because there is a wide span, and there cannot fail to be small variations in surplus and deficit. Thus there are cases where, despite meeting, there is no eclipse; and there are cases of repeated meetings producing eclipses. Only in the month of upright yang [the fourth month] do noble persons shun it, which is why there are the rites of beating drums and offering silk.' The Shuowen says: 'Takes the insect radical and the *si* [feed] radical, which also serves as the phonetic.' 飤 is pronounced *si*).
