佞媚（上乃定反切韻云諂也論語云雍也仁而不伎郭註爾雅云佞人似信者也下明祕反考聲云悅也美也切韻云姿媚也論語云王孫賈問曰與其媚於奧寧媚於竈也）。

Flattery and obsequiousness (佞媚: the first character has the fanqie 乃定 [nai + ding / nìng]. The Qieyun says: "Sycophantic." The Analects says: "Yong is humane, but not glib." Guo's commentary on the Erya says: "A glib person resembles someone trustworthy." The second character has the fanqie 明祕 [ming + bi / mèi]. The Kaosheng says: "Pleasing; lovely." The Qieyun says: "Attractive charm." The Analects says: "Wangsun Jia asked: 'Rather than flattering the spirit of the inner sanctuary, is it not better to flatter the kitchen stove?'")
