霹靂 (for the first character, [pī], fanqie 普擊 [pʰ- + -ek = pʰek/pī]. For the second character, [lì], fanqie 郎擊 [l- + -ek = lek/lì]. The Shuowen says: “霹靂 means splitting thunder shaking in battle; whatever it strikes breaks at once, like an assault in battle.” Wang Chong's Lunheng says: “When the yin and yang qi are surging, the sound of their colliding is rapid thunder.”)
