According to the Collection of Sounds (Jiyun), pronounced ying. Lingying refers to the appearance of deep mountains. In the Ganquan Rhapsody (Ganquan Fu) by Yang Xiong, it is written: The peaks are lingying and craggy. The commentary states: Lingying refers to a deep and secluded appearance. Furthermore, in the Gaotang Rhapsody (Gaotang Fu) by Song Yu, it is written: The gravel grinds and rubs against itself, with a thundering, crashing sound. The commentary states: Yingke both refer to the sound of stones rubbing against each other. Also, according to the Collection of Sounds (Jiyun), pronounced heng. Zhengying refers to the appearance of high and precipitous mountains. Note: The Collection of Sounds (Jiyun) treats the characters rong, ying, and hong as identical. The Compendium of Rhymes (Yunhui) places rong in the qing rhyme category and ying in the geng rhyme category, treating them as two separate entries. This dictionary follows that distinction.
