Holding the two portents (for the first [character 秉], b- + [m]in [bǐng]; the commentary to the Mao classic of Poetry says: “'Bing' means to grasp; it also says: to embrace.” Jia Kui's commentary to the Guoyu says: “'Bing' is like holding.” The Guangya says: “To hold.” The Shuowen says: “'Bing' means stalks of grain; it follows 又 holding 禾; a compound ideograph.” In the transmission text it is written as 乘, which is a scribal error).
