To strike and tap (fuji 拊擊: the first character has the fanqie [reading] fu + wu [fu]. The Qieyun says: "To clap." The second character has the fanqie [reading] gu + li [ji]. The Qieyun says: "To beat." The "Canon of Shun" in the Classic of Documents says: "I strike the stones and tap the stones, and all the animals follow along and dance." Kong [Anguo's] commentary says: "拊 also means to strike." Both characters take 'hand' [as semantic component], with 付 and 毄 both serving as phonetics).
