眾喻 (multitude of analogies; the former is zhong/zhong fan; Shuowen jiezi says: '眾 means numerous; composed of 乑, meaning many standing together, and 目, conveying the sense of a multitude'; 乑 is pronounced yin; the latter is yi/zhu fan, a vulgar character; the correct form has radical 言 as 諭; Zheng's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: 'To proclaim and enlighten'; the Cang Jie Pian says: 'To illustrate and admonish'; Shuowen jiezi says: 'Composed of 言 with 俞 phonetic').
