86.124

Gentry and officials 搢紳 (the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 津 + 信; Zheng [Xuan's] commentary on the Book of Rites and the Kaosheng both say: "Jin is like inserting (插)." Zheng [Xuan's] commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: "Jin means inserting the ceremonial tablet into the sash, like wearing a sword." The Shuowen jiezi states that it takes the hand radical 手 and the phonetic 晉; 插 is pronounced with the fanqie 初 + 洽, and 笏 is pronounced 忽. The second character is pronounced with the fanqie 失 + 真; the Kaosheng says: "A shen is a large sash." The Guangya says: "Shen is like binding." The Analects says: "Zizhang wrote it on his sash." The Shuowen jiezi shares the same meaning; it takes the silk radical 糸 and the phonetic 申).
