Rescue sentient beings [拯含] (The sound of zheng [拯] has no rhyming binome, but takes the rising tone of the character zheng [蒸]. Du Yu's commentary to the Zuo zhuan: "Zheng [拯] means to aid." Yunquan: "To save." Fangyan: "To pull out from drowning." Gujin zhengzi: "Zheng [拯] means [抍]; composed of 'hand' [手] with 'cheng' [丞] phonetic." The character [抍] is pronounced sheng).
