Mould and matrix (鎔笵: the first character is yù + zhōng fanqie [róng]; the second is fán + gōng fanqie [fàn]. The Book of Han says: "Like metal in the crucible, cast as the founder will." 范 is an iron mould. The Shuowen says: "鎔 is a method for casting vessels; when copper melts, it is 鎔; it has the metal radical, with 容 as phonetic.").
