Critique: In the Literary Expositor (Erya), the part above the eyes is called ming; the commentary says this is the space between the eyebrows and eyes. The Corrected Rhymes (Zhengyun) mistakenly provided this definition because the sound is close to ming, and the Character Compendium (Zihui) followed this error, which is incorrect.

According to the original book, this has been corrected from Explanation of Ancient Words (Shigu) to Explanation of Grasses (Shicao).
