蠱𭖪 (The first character is pronounced 古. Zheng's commentary to the Zhouli says: "'Gu' refers to parasitic or poison-creatures that harm people through disease." The character books say: "Worms in the belly; it also refers to the dismembered corpse-demon, which is also called a gu." The Erya says: "'Gu' also means distress." The Kaosheng says: "Demonic enchantment." The Wenzi dian shuo says: "It derives from 蟲 and from 皿." [The second character] has the fanqie 皎 + 堯).
