1.112

Xiangyan (nape and throat) (the first character is jiang-jiang fan; the Shuowen says: "The front is called jing [neck], the back is called xiang [nape]"; the second character is yan-jian fan; the Shenglei says: "Yan means throat"; the Cangjie pian says: "Yan"; the Gujin zhengzi says: "Derived from 肉 with 因 as phonetic; upon examination, yan is another name for the neck"; it is also written as 𦝪 or 臙, both being ancient characters; the scripture writes 咽 with 口, which is incorrect; jing is pronounced jing-ying fan; yan is pronounced yan; jiang is pronounced xiang-jiang fan).
