讚𣜥 (Has the fanqie *xing* + *ji* [xí]. Gu Yewang states: "A *xí* document is a text that enumerates crimes against those who ought to be attacked, while reassuring and instructing the common people." The *Hanshu* states: "One could dispatch a *xí* call-to-arms and pacify a thousand leagues," which is this. The *Shiming* states: "*Xí* means to arouse (*jī*); it is a written text by which a subordinate officer arouses and meets those above him. Written on wooden tablets two feet long, when there are summons, it is written on it and dispatched to circulate." The *Shuowen* states: "A *xí* is a two-foot document. Formed with *he* (grain) and has *jiao* phonetic." Sūtra editions write it as 撽, which is a vulgar character. 敫 is pronounced 激 [jī]).
