牛昕（上語求反姓也姓菀云本自殷周封微子於宋其裔司宼牛父𰏙師敗於狄子孫以王父字為氏也下火斤反說文云且明日將出也從日斤聲也）。

Niu Xin (牛昕: the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 語求 [ng- + -əu = niú]; it is a surname. The Xingyuan says: 'Originally derived from the Yin and Zhou dynasties. When Weizi was enfeoffed in Song, his descendant, Minister of Crime Niu Fu, led troops and was defeated by the Di barbarians. His descendants took their grandfather's style name as their clan name.' The second character is pronounced with the fanqie 火斤 [h- + -ɨn = xīn]. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Approaching dawn when the sun is about to emerge.' It takes the sun radical [日] with 斤 as phonetic).
