Necklace ornaments (瓔飾; the first character is [pronounced with the] fanqie yī + [y]íng. The Shuowen writes it as 賏, meaning a prominent ornament of a woman; “it takes two bèi ‘cowries’.” The scripture writes it with yī ‘clothing’ as 䙬, which is not found in character dictionaries and is erroneous. The second character is [pronounced with the] fanqie shēng + [zh]ī. Zheng's commentary to the Liji says: “Ornament is the outward expression of inner sentiment.” The Shuowen says: “To brush. It takes jīn ‘cloth’ as semantic classifier and sì as phonetic. Another says it means an oak decoration.” Some scriptural texts write it with shì ‘market’ as 飾, which is erroneous. Shuā is [pronounced with the] fanqie shuāng + [gu]ā. Xiàng has the pronunciation xiàng).
