46.206

Zhezhu 磔牛 (the ancient script is the same as 尼, [pronounced with the] fanqie 知格 [zhī + gé/*ʈak/zhé]. The Guangya says: 'Zhe 磔 means to stretch out; zhe 磔 means to tear open.' The Shuowen says: 'Zhe 磔 means dismembering a sacrificial victim.' The Erya says: 'Sacrificing to the wind is called zhe 磔.' Sun Yan says: 'After the sacrifice, one rips and dismembers the victim's nature so that it scatters with the wind.' In the treatise text it is written as 挓; where that comes from has not yet been seen).
