Pronounced dǐ. Same as the character meaning to butt or gore. To collide with. Book of Collected Rhymes (Guangyun) and Collected Rhymes (Jiyun) and Correct Rhymes (Zhengyun) state it is pronounced dǐ. Used in the sense of to push against or exclude. Han Yu, Discourse on Entering Learning (Jinxuejie): To push against and reject heterodoxy. Also means to arrive at or reach. Xi Kang, Rhapsody on the Zither (Qinfu): To touch the cliffs and reach the corners. Also, jiaodi is the name of a performance. Used interchangeably with the characters pronounced dǐ and dī. Refer to the previous note under the radical Horn.
Also, according to Collected Rhymes (Jiyun), pronounced zhǐ. To strike from the side. Same as the character pronounced dǐ. Note that the character written here is different from the character pronounced chǐ. The Comprehensive Collection of Characters (Zihui) mistakenly follows the error in Correct Rhymes (Zhengyun), giving an additional pronunciation of zhī and defining it as a drinking vessel, conflating it with the note for the character pronounced chǐ, which is incorrect. The Supplement to the Comprehensive Collection of Characters (Zihui bu) incorrectly writes the character as another form, which is also incorrect.
