Pronounced mo (third tone) li (third tone) according to Guangyun, and mu (third tone) li (third tone) according to Jiyun. The pronunciation is the same as "mi". It is the name of a type of fish. One interpretation refers to fish roe. Gujinzhu (Ancient and Modern Notes) records: Fish roe is called "zhi", also called "kun", and also called "zhi". This is because it resembles scattered rice grains. Zhengzitong (Dictionary of Chinese Characters) records: In the eighth and ninth months, the various prefectures of Nanhai collect fish roe, wrap it in grass, and hang it above the stove smoke. By the time of the spring thunder in the second month of the following year, the grass bundles are taken down and immersed in a pond. After about ten days, the roe hatches, resembling tadpoles, and is called "zhi". This character is originally composed of "fish" and "ni".
