輶軒（上音猶下歇言反毛詩傳云輶輕車也古者採詩使者所乘方言序云輶軒使者所以巡遊萬國釆覽異言周秦之季其業隳癈也即如今之採訪使也）。

Light carriage (輶: pronounced *yóu*; 軒: *xiē-yán* fanqie; the commentary on the *Mao Shi* says: "A *yóu* is a light carriage, ridden in antiquity by envoys collecting folk songs"; the preface to the *Fangyan* says: "Envoys in light carriages were used to patrol and tour the ten thousand states to collect and inspect regional dialects; towards the end of the Zhou and Qin dynasties, this practice fell into disuse"; they were equivalent to the present-day surveillance commissioners).
