鎔笵（上欲鍾反下凡[鋑-允+公]反漢書云猶金之在鎔唯冶之所鑄也范鐵摸也說文云鎔冶器法也銅銷為鎔從金容聲也）。

Mould and matrix (鎔笵: the first character is yù + zhōng fanqie [róng]; the second is fán + gōng fanqie [fàn]. The Book of Han says: "Like metal in the crucible, cast as the founder will." 范 is an iron mould. The Shuowen says: "鎔 is a method for casting vessels; when copper melts, it is 鎔; it has the metal radical, with 容 as phonetic.").
