Toil and labor (the upper character is [pronounced with the fanqie] 具 + 愚. The Kaosheng says: 'Diligent.' Zheng's commentary on the Liji says: 'Qu also means labor; it takes the power radical with qu as phonetic.' The lower character is [pronounced with the fanqie] 老 + 刀. The Zhouli says: 'Achievements in work are called lao.' Character dictionaries say: 'Lao means weary.' The Shuowen says: 'One who exerts effort is lao; it takes the power radical with an abbreviated ying as phonetic').
