鍼盲（上執任反廣雅云鍼刺也按針盲者以正法治邪見如針盲之痼疾也說文從金咸聲今通從十作針俗字也下麥庚反說文目無眸子也從目亡聲也）。

鍼盲 (The first character has the fanqie phonetic spelling 執 [zhí] + 任 [rèn], [zhēn]. The Guangya says: "'Zhēn' means to pierce." Examining 'zhēnmáng' [needling the blind]: it refers to using the correct Dharma to cure erroneous views, just as needling the chronic affliction of blindness. The Shuowen says: "It takes 金 [metal] as its radical and 咸 as its phonetic component." Nowadays it is commonly written with 十 as 針, which is a vulgar character. The second character has the fanqie phonetic spelling 麥 [mài] + 庚 [gēng], [máng]. The Shuowen says: "An eye without a pupil. It takes 目 [eye] as its radical and 亡 as its phonetic component").
