Si Collection, Middle Volume. Radical: Fire (huǒ). Character: zhuan. Kangxi stroke count: 7. Page 666, Entry 11. According to the Five Tones Collection and Rhymes (Wuyin Jiyun), pronounced zhuan. It refers to fire seeds. According to the Correct Meaning Guide (Zhengzitong), it is identical to a variant form. In the commentary to the Duties of Disciples chapter in the Guanzi, the character zhe is used, which acts as the character zhe. It is written today as zhuan. Regarding the Duties of Disciples, it says the distance of the wick sustains the fire. The commentary by Fang merely says that the wick refers to the end of a candle; it does not provide a pronunciation, nor does it note that zhe acts as zhe. Only the Minor Supplement to the Rhyme Collection (Yunhui Xiaobu) states that in the Duties of Disciples, the left hand steadies the wick. The Garden of Discussions (Tanyuan) states that the word for wick is a phonetic loan, properly written as a character composed of fire and a component with the sound jin. Perhaps in older editions of the Guanzi, the word for wick was written as the character in question, which also carries the pronunciation jin. However, the Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters (Shuowen Jiezi) states that the character ying was originally written with a person radical and the phonetic component zhuan. Xu Xuan remarked that zhuan does not form a proper character and should be written with a contracted form, thus the character zhuan could potentially be omitted. It is not recorded in the Extensive Rhymes (Guangyun) or various other books; it is retained here solely because it is included in the Jade Chapters (Yupian). The original form of the character consists of fire placed below a component derived from the contracted form of zhen.
