You Collection, Middle Volume Radical: Shellfish (bèi) Kangxi strokes: 21 Page 1213, Entry 03 Guangyun (Guangyun), Jiyun (Jiyun), and Yunhui (Yunhui) define the pronunciation as bi (falling tone), same as the pronunciation of bei (falling tone). Yupian (Yupian): Bixi, the appearance of exerting great strength or effort. Zhang Heng, Western Capital Rhapsody (Xijing Fu): The Great Spirit exerts great strength. Commentary: Bixi is the appearance of exerting great strength. Zuo Si, Rhapsody on the Metropolis of Wu (Wudu Fu): The giant sea turtle bears the weight, its head crowning the sacred mountain. Commentary: Bifu is the appearance of using strength vigorously. Also, Leipian (Leipian): Bi is a sea turtle. Another theory suggests that a female sea turtle is called bi. Bencao (Bencao): Bixi is a type of large tortoise belonging to the hawksbill category, which enjoys carrying heavy objects on its back. It is also known as such. The current tortoise-shaped base beneath stone tablets imitates its form. Lingnan Yiwuzhi (Lingnan Yiwuzhi): Bi can be fashioned into ornaments worn on the arm. Also, it is identical to the character bi (falling tone). Book of Odes (Shijing), Greater Odes: Internal anger within the Central Kingdom. Commentary: Bi means the expression of anger. To be angry while not drunk is called bi. Sub-commentary: The correct interpretation states that in the Western Capital Rhapsody (Xijing Fu) it is written: The Great Spirit exerts great strength to divert the river bend. Thus, bi is the appearance of staring with bulging eyes while angry, and the phrase "angry while not drunk" follows the preceding mention of being drunk. Yupian (Yupian): Bifu is the appearance of exerting great strength. We have carefully corrected the term bifu in the original text to bixi. Zhang Heng, Western Capital Rhapsody (Xijing Fu): The Great Spirit exerts great strength. Commentary: Bi is the appearance of exerting great strength. Note: This character is written as bi (falling tone) in the Jiyun (Jiyun), Guangyun (Guangyun), and Yupian (Yupian); therefore, the form bi (falling tone) should be considered the correct orthography for the currently used character bi. The three citations of the term bifu in the commentary clearly contain a scribal error, where the character fu was written instead of the character xi. Following the original meaning, the quoted instances of the character have been carefully corrected to the character xi.
