Defence and support (防援; the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 符亡 [fáng]. Zheng Xuan's Commentary on the Classic of Poetry states: '防 (fáng) also means support.' The Shuowen jiezi states: '防 means an embankment. It takes 𨸏 as radical and 方 as phonetic.' [The second character] is pronounced with the fanqie 袁願 [yuàn]. The Guoyu states: 'Serving as the support (援) of the four neighbours.' The Zuozhuan states: 'To establish a great alliance of support,' which is this. The Shuowen jiezi states that it takes 'hand' [手] as radical and 爰 as phonetic).
