薄蝕（補莫反下神職反漢書日月薄蝕韋昭日氣往迫之曰薄虧毀日蝕釋名日月虧曰蝕稍侵毀如虫食草木葉也）。

Eclipse (薄, *bǔ-mò* fanqie; the lower character [蝕] is *shén-zhí* fanqie. The Book of Han says: 'The eclipse (薄蝕) of the sun and moon.' Wei Zhao says: 'The vapor pressing upon them is called 薄; their being diminished and impaired is called 蝕.' The Shiming says: 'When the sun or moon is diminished, it is called 蝕; it is gradually eaten away and damaged, like insects eating grass and tree leaves.')
