Blacksmith [鍜師] (duan: d[uān] + [lu]àn fan; the Cangjiepian says: '"Duàn" means to hammer.' Kong's Commentary on the Book of Documents says: '"Duàn" means to forge and refine.' The Jixun says: '"Duàn" means beating iron.' The Shuowen says: 'A minor metallurgist; it takes the phonetic "jiǎ" (叚) under the "jīn" (金) radical').
