Zi Collection, Middle Volume. Radical: Person (rén). Character: xin. Kangxi stroke count: 6. Page 95, number 13. According to the Expanded Rhymes (Guangyun), the Collected Rhymes (Yunhui), and the Compiled Rhymes (Jijun), the character is pronounced with the fanqie of si and shen or si and ren, sounding like the rising tone of xin. The meaning is an appearance of fear. As quoted in the Sacrificial Oration for the Crocodile (Ji Eyu Wen) by Han Yu (Han Yu): "Fearful and cautious, bringing shame upon the common people and the officials." Additionally, the Compiled Rhymes records the fanqie pronunciation of qi and zhen, sounding like the departing tone of qin, which carries the same meaning.
