Mocking and laughing (for the first character, the fanqie is 赤 [ch-] + 之 [-i]; the Cang Jie pian says: "to slight and insult"; for "laughing", the fanqie is 私 [s-] + 玅 [-iao]; the Zilin says: "laughing means rejoicing; the character is composed of the 'bamboo' radical with the phonetic quan 犬; bamboo is used for musical instruments, and the noble person rejoices and only then laughs").
