楚撻(初呂反一名荊漢書陸賈曰秦莊王名楚故改為荊遊行於世撻擊也楚捶人即痛因名楚痛)。
Beating and flogging (楚撻, [楚 is pronounced with the fanqie] *chu* + *lü*, another name for chaste tree (*jing*); the *Hanshu* records Lu Jia saying that King Zhuang of Qin was named Chu, so it was changed to *jing*, which became widespread; *ta* (撻) means striking; when striking someone with a chaste-tree switch (*chu*) it causes pain, hence it is called 'chaste-tree pain' (*chutong*)).
