諷誦（上風鳳反下徐用反鄭注周禮云倍文曰諷以聲節之曰誦毛詩序上以風化下下以諷刺上說文中二字互相訓諷即誦也誦亦諷也竝左形右聲經文從公作頌雖通俗用然非本字本音容今故不取）。

Reciting and chanting (諷誦: the first is pronounced with the fanqie [風]鳳 [fèng]; the second with the fanqie 徐用 [yòng]. Zheng's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: "Reciting without the text is called feng; regulating it with melodic rhythm is called song." The Preface to the Mao Commentary on the Classic of Poetry states: "Superiors use feng to transform those below; inferiors use feng to satirize those above." In the Shuowen, the two characters define each other: feng is song, and song is feng. Both have the semantic element on the left and phonetic on the right. In the sūtra text it is written with 'gong' as 頌 [sòng]; although commonly interchangeable, it is not the original character, nor its original pronunciation or form, hence it is not adopted here).
