Also in Jade Chapter: Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji) states: The ancestors of Chu had Xiong Xu, who was Fenmao. Regarding the Records of the Grand Historian, House of Chu: Xiong Ju was established. Xu Guang states: Ju is pronounced shùn. The Search for Obscurities (Suoyin) states: Jade Chapter places Xu in the Mouth radical; however, some modern editions have the character written with the Eye radical, hence the reading shùn, which is incorrect. According to this, Xiong Xu should be written with the Mouth radical.
