23.62

Frowning and unhappy (嚬蹙不喜: 嚬 is read 脾 + 仁 fanqie. 蹙 is read 子 + 六 fanqie. The Yupian says: '嚬蹙 describes the appearance of sorrow and displeasure.' Jia Kui's commentary on the Guoyu says: '嚬 means close.' The Mao Commentary on the Shijing says: '蹙 means contracted.' It means that when someone is sorrowful, they knit and bunch together their eyebrows, forehead, nose, and eyes in proximity. Furthermore, according to the Shuowen, when crossing water toward the shore, the gathering of water ripples is also called pincu. However, for the pin of sorrow, 卑 was written under 頻; here the simplified form is adopted and the other is not used. Sūtra editions that add a mouth radical beside it are vulgar).
