Pheasant-feather cap (鶡冠: the first [character] is *han-ge* [h- + -é = hé] in fanqie; the Kaosheng says: “The 鶡 is the name of a bird.” The Sounds and Meanings of the Book of Han says: “The 鶡 bird is also called the *su*; its tail feathers are used for warrior caps.” The Shuowen says: “The 鶡 resembles a pheasant and is found in the valleys of Shangdang; by nature this bird is fierce, and if they fight each other, they stop only when one dies; this denotes martial fierceness”).
