Wu Collection, Upper Volume Radical: Melon (guā) Character: Lì Kangxi strokes: 24 Page 747, Entry 33 Supplement to the Collection of Characters (Zihui bu): Identical to the character li. This character is written differently across various editions, leading to confusion and errors due to repeated transcription. The Collection of Characters (Zihui) writes it as a variant, while The Rhyme Collection of Strange Characters (Qizi yun) and the Supplement to the Collection of Rhymes (Yunhui bu) write it as the lower component of the character li. The Collected Works of Liu Zizheng (Liu Zizheng ji) writes it as li, and Wang Yi’s Commentary on the Verses of Chu (Chuci zhangju) also writes it as li. Note by Ren Chen: In dictionaries, li is the abbreviated form of the character li. Additionally, The Sea of Characters (Pianhai) includes a variant with the same meaning. Therefore, li is the abbreviated form of li. Note that the radical for the character li is axe, not melon.
