Pray at mounds (丘禱: the second character has the fanqie 刀 + 老. Zheng [Xuan's] commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: "Seeking blessings is called dǎo." Bao [Xian's] commentary on the Analects says: "Dǎo is praying to ghosts and spirits." The text of the Records says: "Announcing affairs to seek blessings." It takes 示 as semantic classifier and 壽 as phonetic component; 示 is pronounced qí).
