91.129

炙輠 [greasing the axle-end / fluent eloquence] (The first character is pronounced with the fanqie 征亦 [zhī]; the second character is pronounced like 果 [guǒ]. The caps at both ends of an axle hub; another explanation says it is a grease horn: when roasted by fire, the grease flows out. Prince Si of Chen [Cao Zhi] had an identical metaphor of greasing the axle-ends, meaning that the talents and learning of Huijing were likewise [inexhaustible]. It derives from 車 [chariot] with 果 as phonetic).
