Colliding and striking (撞擊; the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 濁江 [zhuàng]. Gu Yewang states: '撞 (zhuàng) also means to strike.' The Guangya states: '撞 means to stab.' The Shuowen jiezi states: '撞 means to strike with the hand. It takes "hand" [手] as radical and 童 as phonetic. 卂 is pronounced 信 [xìn].' The second character is pronounced with the fanqie 經亦 [jī]. Kong Anguo's Commentary on the Book of Documents states: '擊 (jī) means to tap.' Gu Yewang states: '擊 means to beat; it means to attack.' Sima Biao's Commentary on the Zhuangzi states: '擊 is like moving.' The Shuowen jiezi states that it takes 'hand' [手] as radical and 毄 as phonetic; 毄 has the same pronunciation as above).
