Embroidered patterns (黼黻: the first character has the fanqie [fu] + [yu]; the second character has the fanqie [fu] + [hu]. The Kaogong ji says: 'In painted and embroidered patterns, white together with black is called 黼 [fǔ]; black together with azure is called 黻 [fú].' The Erya says: 'They are ceremonial designs; an axe-head pattern is called 黼.' Guo Pu says: 'The 黼 pattern is drawn in the shape of an axe.' The character 黼 derives from 黹 [embroidery], pronounced [zhi] + [zhi]. The sūtra text writes it with 首 [head] as 𩠤, which is incorrect.).
