81.112

Sound of the chime stone (磬聲: pronounced *qing* + *jing* [qìng]. Dictionaries correctly write it with the 'stone' radical as 磬. Gu Yewang says: 'A musical chime made of stone is a 磬.' The *Classic of Documents* says: 'Floating chime stones from the banks of the Si.' The *Shiben* says: 'Wuju invented the chime stone.' The *Shuowen jiezi* says: 'A musical stone; it depicts the shape of suspended chimes, struck with a mallet; it is formed from the "stone" radical (石) with *qing* (殸) as the phonetic component.' 設 is the ancient character for 磬; its pronunciation is the same as above).
