23.27

"Beating and flogging" (Beating [撾] is zhuā [zhì + gū fanqie]. Flogging [撻] is tà [tā + mò fanqie]. The Shuowen jiezi says: "撾 means a riding crop." Zheng Xuan's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: "A crop is for striking." 楚 [chǔ] means a thorn-switch staff. His commentary on the Rites of Zhou also says: "撻 is like caning with thorns." 撾 is written with the wood classifier; its ancient form is written as 𥬲).
