Zi Collection, Page Position: Upper Radical: Blood (xuè) Page 1076, Entry 01 Pronounced huāng. The Analytical Dictionary of Characters (Shuowen Jiezi) defines it as blood. The Zuo Tradition (Zuo Zhuan), in the fifteenth year of Duke Xi, states: The scholar official slaughtered a sheep, and there was no blood. Han Yu poetry: Blood pools wave like wind, flesh mounds pile up. The Dictionary of Characters (Zihui) also places this under Radical: Vessel (mǐn), written as a variant form, which is incorrect.
