Also, according to the Guangyun (Broad Rhymes), in ancient times it was interchangeable with the character meaning to prostrate or hide (fu). According to the Zhengyun (Correct Rhymes), the Fuxi (mythological emperor) acquired his name because he was able to tame animals. It is also interchangeable with the character meaning silent or concealed (mi). According to the Family Instructions of Master Yan (Yanshi Jiaxun), Confucius's disciple Zujian of the Fu clan served as the magistrate of Shanfu, and he was a descendant of Fuxi. The common form is also written as the character meaning silent or concealed (mi). Today, Yongchang Prefecture in Yanzhou is the location of the former Shanfu. There is a stele dedicated to Zujian at the east gate, erected during the Han dynasty, which states that Fu Sheng of Jinan was a descendant of Zujian. From this, it is known that the characters for Fu (tame/prostrate) and this character have been interchangeable since ancient times, and the shape of the character was erroneously written as the character meaning silent or concealed (mi).
