73.6

"Heart of a bandit (心𡨥)" (jie and hou in fanqie [kòu]; the Shangshu mentions: "Robbers, bandits, villains, and traitors." Fan Ning's Collected Explanations says: "Referring to those who band together to attack and plunder [piāo]." Here its meaning is adopted. The Shuowen says: "Kòu means violent." The Guangya says: "Kòu means to plunder." The character is composed of wán [wholeness] and zhī [branch/beat]. Piāo is pi and miao in fanqie).
