鑒面 'looking into a mirror' (the first character is fanqie 監陷; the Mao Shijing says: 'My heart is not a mirror'; the commentary says: 'A mirror is that by which one inspects one's appearance'; the Zuozhuan says: 'A mirror (鑒) is called a looking-glass (鏡)'; Du [Yu's] commentary says: 'to examine, to inspect'; the Shuowen jiezi says: 'A metal mirror can gather bright dew from the moon; it is formed from the metal [radical] with 臨 phonetic').
