Xu Collection, Lower Volume Radical: Food (shí) Gao Kangxi Strokes: 19 Page 1423, Entry 33 Pronounced gao. Jade Chapter (Yupian): A type of rice cake porridge. Broad Collection of Matters (Boya): A cake is a type of bait (steamed dumpling). Exemplar of Words (Yangzi Fangyan): A bait is called a gao. Collected Rhymes (Jiyun): Written as gao. Sometimes written as a variant form. According to the Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters (Shuowen), it is written as gao. The Comprehensive Collection of Characters (Zihui) follows common vulgar usage by abbreviating it as gao, adding it under the ten-stroke section, which is incorrect. Textual Research: Broad Collection of Matters (Boya): Gao is a bait. Careful note: In the original text, cooked food is called yong, and gao is a type of bait; these are separate clauses. The character yong does not belong to the following clause and has been omitted here.
