畜眾 (Maintaining followers: Pronounced *xu* + *liu* [xù]. The commentary to the *Mao Classic of Poetry* states: '畜 means to rear.' Mencius states: 'To nourish without loving is to raise like pigs; to love without respecting is to keep like beasts.' The King of Huainan says: 'Black field (玄田) forms 畜.' The *Wenzi dianshuo* has it composed of 田 and 玄; 玄 indicates the mysterious female).
