鉛錫 (the first character is y[ǔ] + zhu[ān] fanqie; the Yupian says: "Lead is bluish metal." The Shangshu says: "Qingzhou offered tributes of lead." The Shuowen jiezi says: "Composed with the metal radical and [八/口] phonetic." The scripture text writes the vernacular character líng. The second character is xi[ān] + q[ī] fanqie; it is also of the lead class. The Erya says: "Tin is called yǐ." Guo Pu's commentary notes: "White pewter." The Shuowen jiezi says: "Between láng and tin; composed with the metal radical and yì phonetic." Yǐ is pronounced y[ì] + r[ěn] fanqie).
