筌蹄(上音詮下弟低反莊子云得魚忘筌得兔忘蹄顧野王云筌則取魚笱也蹄取兔之具也古今正字筌從竹全聲蹄從足帝聲或作蹏)。

Fish-trap and hare-snare 筌蹄 (the upper character has the sound 詮 [quán]; the lower has the fanqie: 弟低 [tí]). The Zhuangzi says: 'When one catches the fish, one forgets the fish-trap; when one catches the hare, one forgets the snare.' Gu Yewang says: 'The quan is a bamboo basket for catching fish; the ti is a device for catching hares.' The Gujin zhengzi says quan (筌) takes 竹 ('bamboo') as semantic and 全 as phonetic; ti (蹄) takes 足 ('foot') as semantic and 帝 as phonetic; it is also written as 蹏.
