倜儻 (Unrestrained and extraordinary): The first character is read fanqie *t[īng]-[l]ì* [tì]. The second character is read fanqie *t[āng]-[l]ǎng* [tǎng]. Sima Xiangru's *Fengshan shu* states: '倜儻 (*tìtǎng*) means exhausting all transformations.' Gu Yewang states: '倜儻 means standing out from the crowd.' The *Shiji* states: 'Fond of the extraordinary, grand, and untrammeled (倜儻),' which refers to this. The *Gujin zhengzi* states: 'Both characters 倜儻 are classified under the radical *rén* (person), with *tì* (倜) and *dǎng* (黨) serving as phonetic components.'
