鼎沸（上音湏應劭注漢書云鼎方金器也顧野王云鼎烹餁調和五味之器也三足兩耳從貞省加耳足象形古文作）。

鼎沸: The upper character has the sound 湏. Ying Shao's commentary on the Book of Han says: 'A 鼎 is a square metal vessel.' Gu Yewang says: 'A 鼎 is a vessel for boiling, cooking, and seasoning the five flavors; it has three legs and two ears; it follows a reduced 貞, with ears and legs added, pictographic.' In the ancient script, it is written thus.
