Owl and pojing beast 梟鏡 (the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 叫 + 堯; the Kaosheng says: "The xiao is an inauspicious bird." Zheng [Xuan's] commentary on the Mao Commentary on the Book of Songs says: "The xiao is also a bird of ill omen with a hateful cry." The Shuowen jiezi says: "An unfilial bird; on the day of the summer solstice they capture owls and decapitate and dismember (磔, pronounced with the fanqie 陟 + 格) them; it is a phono-semantic character with bird 鳥 [semantic] and tree 木 [phonetic]." The second character is pronounced 敬; the Records of the Grand Historian says: "The pojing is the name of a vicious beast." The Kaosheng says: "A beast that eats its own father.").
