Chou Collection, Upper Volume Radical: Mouth (kǒu) Character: Hao Kangxi Stroke Count: 10 Page 189, Entry 28 Collected Rimes (Jiyun): Pronounced hao (falling tone). Jade Chapters (Yupian): Means to speak verbosely. Proper Character Guide (Zhengzitong): The Shuo-wen Jie-zi does not contain the character Hao. Another interpretation states it is a corrupted form of the character Gao. Note: The character appears in the Jade Chapters (Yupian), and the Proper Character Guide (Zhengzitong) is incorrect.
