Zi Collection, Page Position: Lower Radical: Strength (lì) Character: 効; Kangxi Strokes: 8; Page: 147, Entry 12 From Tangyun (Tangyun): hú jiào qiè; Jiyun (Jiyun): hòu jiào qiè; Yunhui (Yunhui): hòu xué qiè; Zhengyun (Zhengyun): hú xiào qiè; pronounced jiào. From Yupian (Yupian): A common variant of the character xiào. From Jiyun: To resemble; merit. From Yunhui: To be effective; to have an effect. From History of the Former Han (Hanshu), Biography of Su Wu: "To sacrifice oneself." From Zhengyun: In ancient times, it only followed the radical 攵, and not the radical 力. Later generations, in their transcriptions, perpetuated the error for a long time, and it has since been commonly adopted. Correction Note: Zhengyun originally read "In ancient times, it only followed the radical 文, and not the radical 力." It has been carefully corrected from 文 to 攵 according to the original text.
