Beacons and smoke signals (烽燧: the first character is [pronounced with the fanqie] fu + rong; it is also written as 㷭; the character books say it means watch-towers' fire; the second character is [pronounced with the fanqie] xu + zui; the Shiming says: "At night it is called feng; by day it is called sui"; the Shuowen says both characters are formed from fire [火], with feng and sui as phonetics).
