34.128

Prayers and sacrifices [禱祠]: the first [character is pronounced with the fanqie] dao-lao (刀老反); the second is [pronounced with the fanqie] si-ci (似慈反). Zheng [Xuan's] commentary on the Zhouli states: 'When seeking blessings, it refers to words requesting blessings; when blessings are obtained, it is called cí (祠).' The Shuowen [jiezi] states that both are formed from [the semantic component] shì (示; shì has the sound qi) with shòu (壽) and sī (司) as the respective phonetic components.
