介品 (Armored classes: pronounced *jiè* [fanqie: 皆械]. Zheng's commentary on the *Rites of Zhou* states: "*Jiè* refers to creatures like turtles and tortoises that dwell in water." The *Shuowen jiezi* notes it is composed of 八 and 人. In the collected text it is written under 'fish' as 魪, which is the name of a fish and not the meaning of 'armored classes'").
