Treading on solid ground (蹠實) (zhi pronounced with the fanqie 征石 [zhēng + shí = zhí]: the Huainanzi says, "Birds fly cleaving the void; beasts run treading on the solid." Xu Shuzhong's commentary says, "蹠 means to step on; it also means to walk." It is also written as 蹠; the Collected [Edition] writes it with 庶 as 蹠, which is incorrect).
