梟首([敲-高+日]遙反顧野王云謂懸首於水上及竿頭以肆其𢪿也又廣雅梟礫也說文倒首也賈侍中說此斷其首倒懸即梟字也論作梟為不孝鳥也與人梟首乖也)。

Beheading and exposing the head (梟首: *fanqie* [敲-高+日] + 遙. Gu Yewang says: “It refers to hanging a head above water or on top of a pole to expose its crime.” Also, *Guangya* says: “梟 means to expose.” *Shuowen jiezi* says: “An inverted head.” Palace Attendant Jia says: “This refers to severing the head and hanging it inverted, which gives the character 梟.” In the treatise, 梟 is taken as the unfilial bird, which diverges from the sense of beheading).
