Shin and ankle 脛踝 (The first character has the fanqie 形逕 [jìng]. Kong Anguo's commentary on the Lunyu says: 'Jing means the leg-shins.' Gu Yewang says: 'The bone in front of the calf.' The Wenzidian shuo states: 'The jing is the shin-bone of the leg.' It is composed of "flesh" (肉) with "jing" (巠) phonetic. Jing (巠) is pronounced jīng. Fei (腓) has the fanqie 符非 [féi]; jing (䯒) is pronounced xìng; it is also written as 踁 with the same meaning. The second character has the fanqie 華瓦 [huǎ]. Zheng Xuan's commentary on the Liji says: 'Huai means heel.' The Cangjiepian says: 'The ankle is beside the foot.' The Shenglei says: 'The inner and outer bones above the instep.' The Shuowen states: 'It is composed of "foot" (足) with "guo" (果) phonetic.' In the treatise it is written with "flesh" (肉) as 腂, which is incorrect. Fu (跗) has the fanqie 方于 [fū].)
