This proverb: 諺 [yan] (言 + 建 fanqie. The Zuozhuan says: "A proverb of Zhou has it." The Kaosheng says: "Transmitting ancient sayings." The Shuowen jiezi says: "Transmitted words. Analyzed: from radical 言 'speech', with 彥 phonetic." It is also written as 彥, which derives from 文 with 厂 phonetic; 文 is pronounced 文, and 厂 is pronounced 罕. The collection has it with radical 口 'mouth' as 喭, which is incorrect. Writing 彥 with 立 is a vulgar form).
