Si Collection, Lower Volume Radical: Cow (niú) Kangxi Strokes: 8 Page 699, Entry 03 Guangyun (Broad Rhymes): Pronounced lang Jiyun (Collected Rhymes): Pronounced lang, has the same sound as gang. Yupian (Jade Chapters): Defined as a water buffalo. Jiyun (Collected Rhymes): States that it was originally written as gang. Refers to a bull. Also used generally as gang. Note: In the Guangyun (Broad Rhymes), the character is defined by the Yupian (Jade Chapters) as a water buffalo. The character gang is defined by the Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters (Shuowen Jiezi) as a bull. These are two distinct meanings. The Jiyun (Collected Rhymes) merges the two into one, but the distinction provided in the Guangyun (Broad Rhymes) should be considered the correct standard.
