歌吹 (Singing and playing wind instruments: the upper character has the fanqie 古俄; the Qieyun says it means ballads and songs; the Shijing says: “I sing and then chant ballads”; the Erya says: “Singing without accompaniment is called chanting [謠].” The lower character has the fanqie 尺偽; the Erya says: “Blowing [pipes] without accompaniment is called harmony [和]”; the Shuowen writes it as 籥).
