Tigers and rhinoceroses (虎兕): [The second character is read with the fanqie] 辭紫. The Shanhaijing states: 'The si rhinoceros lives south of the Xiang River; in shape it resembles an ox and is dark ash-black.' Guo Pu says: 'It has a single horn, is dark gray-green, and weighs a thousand catties.' The Shuowen jiezi says it is a pictograph. In the register it is written as 兕, a vulgar character.
