Crowning upon the head (頂戴; the second character has the fanqie 當 + 載. Jia Kui's commentary on the Guoyu states: 'Dài means to receive reverently.' The character dictionaries state: 'To carry on the head is called dài.' Liu Xin says: 'That which people revere and honour.' The Shuowen jiezi states: It is formed with the 'difference' radical [異] and takes zāi [𢦏] as its phonetic element; in the Great Seal script it is written as 戴; 𢦏 has the fanqie 宰 + 來).
