麈尾(朱庾反郭注山海經云麈似鹿而大聲類云尾可以為帚說文從鹿主聲論文從土作塵誤也)。

Elk-tail whisk (麈尾: [麈 is] zhu-yu fan [zhǔ]. Guo [Pu]'s commentary on the Shanhaijing says: “The zhu resembles a deer but is larger.” The Shenglei says: “Its tail can be made into a duster.” The Shuowen [jiezi] says: “Formed with 鹿 ('deer') and zhu phonetic.” In the text of the treatise, written with 土 as 塵 is an error).
