Zheng's commentary on the Yili says: 'Providing food and drink to guests and urging wine.' Guo's commentary on the Erya says: 'It means to reciprocate each other.' The Shuowen writes it as 醻 and says: 'To present and toast. It takes 酉 (wine) as semantic component and 壽 as phonetic component.' The second character is with the fanqie 思代. The Wenzi jilüe says: '賽 (sài) means to reward blessings and sacrifice to spirits.'
