Defamation and slander (誹謗: the first character has the fanqie 匪 + 微. The Dadai Liji says: “Setting up the post for criticism and the drum for wishing to remonstrate.” The Shuowen says: “It means to slander; classified under the radical 'speech' (言) with 非 phonetic.” The second character has the fanqie 牓 + 浪. Du [Yu]'s commentary on the Zuo zhuan says: “謗 means to defame.” The Shuowen shares the same definition; classified under the radical 'speech' (言) with 旁 phonetic. 旁 has the fanqie 薄 + 晃).
