彫飾 Carved ornamentation (the first character is niao + liao [diāo]; Kong's commentary on the Book of Documents says: "'Diao' means painted designs." Gu Yewang says: "To engrave." The Guangya says: "To engrave." The Shuowen says: "To carve patterns; [the character] derives from 'hair' with 'zhou' phonetic. The Vinaya text writes it with 'zhui' as 雕, which refers to the bird and is not this meaning; shan has the sound shān. The second character is sheng + zhi [shì]; the Erya says: "'Shi' means clean." The Kaosheng says: "To adorn, carve, or repair." The Shuowen says: "'Shi' means to wipe and clean; [the character] derives from 'cloth' with 'si' phonetic; si has the sound sì").
