Jie and Zhi (for the first [character 桀], q- + [n]ie [jié]; the Kaosheng says: “Jie is the posthumous title of the sovereign of the Xia dynasty.” Kong's commentary to the Book of Documents says: “Jie had his capital at Anyi.” The Rules of Posthumous Titles state: “One who harms people and has many burdens is called Jie.” Liu Xi says: “Burdening worthy men with evil rebelliousness; Summer Jie was imprisoned and so this was made his posthumous title.” The Shuowen says: “'Jie' means outstanding; it follows 夕 and follows 井; guilt resting upon wood.” 夕 is pronounced sui [suī]; 井 is pronounced q- [qiè]. For the second [character 蹠], zh- + [y]i [zhí]; Zhuangzi says: “Robber Zhi was an evil person.” The Shuowen says: “Taking goods and wealth for private benefit is called 'robbery'.” The Yupian says: “'Zhi' is the bottom of the foot; now it is also used as this character.” Jie was a ruler who lost his state; Zhi was Robber Zhi; they are of the kind of ferocious men).
