Even chest (膺平: [the character 膺 (chest)] is 憶 [yi] + 凝 [ning] [yīng]. The Cang Jie Pian says: 'The bone above the two breasts.' In the Hanshu, Wei Zhao says: 'Where the chest is elevated on all four sides and sunken in the center, it is called 膺.' The Shuowen jiezi says: '膺 means chest.' It is composed of the flesh radical (月/肉) with 雁 as phonetic; it is also written with the bone radical as 𩪠 in ancient script).
