蒙昧（字體作矇同莫公反下每貝反易云蒙者𱞿也謂𱞿覆不明也廣雅云昧者闇也謂蔽無知也易云蒙昧幼老謂不我求是也）。

蒙昧 (The character is written 矇, identical; mò plus gōng [méng]; the second is měi plus bèi [mèi]; the Yijing states that 蒙 means veiled, that is, covered over and unenlightened; the Guangya states that 昧 means dark, that is, blinded and ignorant; the Yijing states, 'The unenlightened and ignorant, young and old, meaning they do not seek me,' which refers to this).
