59.304

患嚏(又作䶍同丁計反蒼頡噴鼻也詩云願言即嚏箋云汝思我心如是我即嚏今俗嚏云人道我此亦古遺語耳)。

Huantì (suffering a sneeze) (also written 䶍, both with the fanqie: 丁 + 計 [tì]; the *Cang Jie pian* states: 'Blowing from the nose.' The *Shijing* states: 'Thinking of you, I forthwith sneeze.' The commentary says: 'Your thinking of me is so true that I forthwith sneeze.' Nowadays popular belief says that sneezing means someone is talking about me; this is simply an ancient leftover saying).
