Zi Collection, Page Position: Upper Radical: Field (tián) Pronounced fèn. "Shuowen" explains it as "huī" (swift flight). "Erya - Shiniu" records: Pheasant (wild chicken), when extremely strong, is called "fèn". Sheep, when extremely strong, is called "fèn". The wing-flapping of insects like locusts is called "fèn". The appearance of a bird opening its wings and flapping them as if about to fly is called "fèn xuān". "Book of Odes (Shijing) - Bei Feng" has "cannot fèn fly" (cannot flap wings and fly high). "Records of the Grand Historian - Treatise on Music" records "feathers and wings fèn, horns and bones grow" (feathers and wings vibrate, horns and bones grow). It also has the meaning of shaking. "Book of Changes - Yu hexagram" states "thunder emerges from the earth fèn" (thunder shakes and emerges from the earth). It also has the meaning of promoting. "Book of Rites - Treatise on Music" states "fèn the light of supreme virtue" (promote the radiance of supreme virtue). It also has the meaning of shaking off dust. "Book of Rites - Qu Li" records "the servant inspects the chariot panels, demonstrates harnessing the horses, shakes his clothes and boards from the upper right" (the servant checks the chariot panels, demonstrates harnessing the horses, shakes his clothes and boards from the upper right). It is also a surname. "Zuo Zhuan" records that Chu had a Sima named Fen Yang. Also, the rhyme sound is pǔ miàn qiè, close to "piàn". "Sun Chu - Ode to Han Xin" writes: Qin lost its deer, heroes clashed. Then awakened to a wise ruler, surpassing all like a tiger fèn. (Qin lost its power, heroes fought each other. Then encountered a wise ruler, outstanding like a tiger rising.) The character structure is "xuān" above "tián". The common variant is written as "𡚒", which is incorrect. The original character is from "xuān" and "jiù".
