Transgression and fault (罪愆: the upper character has the fanqie cuī + wěi [zuì]; Guangya says: 'A crime requires execution'; Shuowen jiezi says: 'To violate the law; in ancient script written as 𦋛'; the First Emperor of Qin, because the character 𦋛 resembled the character huáng, changed it to derive from 冈 and 非. The lower character has the fanqie qiū + yān [qiān]; Kong's commentary on the Shangshu states: 'Qiān means fault'; in ancient script written as 平, and Wei Hong wrote it as 𮘧 or 𢤩, both being ancient characters that are no longer in common use).
