31.156

Soaring up and down (頡頏: the first character has the sound x- [賢] + -ié [結] fanqie; the second has the sound h- [鶴] + -áng [浪] fanqie. The Mao Commentary on the Classic of Poetry says: 'Flying up and down is called jiéháng; flying downward is called háng.' The Kaosheng says: 'Suddenly rising high, suddenly descending.' The ancient and modern standard characters both take the head radical (頁), with jí (吉) and kàng (亢) as phonetic; kàng has the sound gāng [𡶩]).
