Zi Collection, Middle Volume. Radical: Person (rén). Kangxi stroke count: 10. Page: 108, entry 19. Pronounced jù. Arrogant, disrespectful. Book of Rites (Liji), Section on Summary of Propriety: Do not be arrogant while traveling. Master Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals (Lushi Chunqiu): Even if one is of noble status as the Son of Heaven, one must not be prideful or arrogant. Also, Huainanzi (Huainanzi), Section on Viewing the Obscure: Lying down sluggishly, rising and glancing about. Commentary: Being sluggish implies lying down without concerns. Also, a shape that is straight is called jù, while one that bends and is horizontal is called gōu. Musical stone chimes have both jù and gōu forms, and spears also possess jù and gōu forms; see Rites of Zhou (Zhouli), Section on Winter Offices, Artificers' Record. Also, Book of Rites (Liji), Record of Music: The jù conforms to the square, the gōu conforms to the hook. Commentary: Jù means slightly curved. Also, sitting with legs stretched out. History of the Former Han (Qianhan Shu), Biography of Zhang Er: The Emperor sat with his legs stretched out. Jùyá refers to the curved teeth of a beast. Erya (Erya), Section on Explaining Domestic Animals: The bó is like a horse, with jùyá. Commentary: Its teeth are curved. Correction of the text: Regarding jùyá, it is the name of a beast. Erya, Section on Explaining Domestic Animals: The bó is like a horse with jùyá. Commentary: Jùyá is pronounced like gǔ. It eats tigers and leopards. I submit that according to the Erya, jùyá is the appearance of the bó horse and not the name of a beast. I have revised it to: jùyá, the teeth of a beast being curved. Erya, Section on Explaining Domestic Animals: The bó is like a horse with jùyá. Commentary: Its teeth are curved.
