馭牝 (Driving a female animal: for the first character, fanqie 牛據 [yù], the Shuowen says: 'To drive a carriage.' The Zhouli has the five types of driving: ringing the harmony bells, following bends in water, passing through barriers and stopping, dancing at crossroads, and pursuing game from the left. The Shiben says: 'Hai harnessed oxen; Xiang Tu yoked horses; Han Ai made the chariot.' For the second character, fanqie 毘忍 [pìn], the Erya says: '牝 means 騇.' Guo's commentary says: 'A female horse.' 騇 is pronounced 舍.)
