22.144

Solid food (揣食: the character for *chuǎi* [揣] in *chuǎishí* properly should be *bó* [搏], pronounced *tuán* [徒鸞反]; the character is formed with the phonetic *zhuān* [專], not the rhyme of *fǔ* [甫]. Vulgar tradition is unable to distinguish these two forms and has erroneously used the character *chuǎi* [揣], pronounced *chuǎi* [初委反]; this is properly the character for 'estimate' [揣量]).
