Si Collection, Upper Volume Radical: Water (shuǐ) Entry: Zhuī Kangxi strokes: 8 Page 612, Entry 05 Tang Rhyme (Tangyun) and Collected Rhymes (Jiyun) state it is pronounced zhuǐ. Explanations in the Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters (Shuowen Jiezi) define it as two waters. The Categorized Anthology (Leipian) records that people in Fujian refer to water as zhuī. Note: In the Book of Changes (Yijing) by the Kuang family, the Kan hexagram is explained as water, written as zhuī. In the Collection of Distinguishing Characters (Peixi Ji) by Guo Zhongshu, it is mentioned that there are characters with the same sound and meaning but different shapes, such as water being written as zhuī and fire being written as a variant form. This indicates that water and zhuī share the same sound and meaning, which differs slightly from the interpretation in the Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters (Shuowen Jiezi). As for Yang Shen's Ancient Sounds of Transferred Glosses (Zhuanzhu Guyin), it suggests that zhuī is pronounced wěi, with the same meaning as the word wěi in the expression or original or wěi found in the Book of Rites (Liji). Etymological research in the Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters (Shuowen Jiezi) considers zhuī to be an ancient form of the character for flow. These are all forced interpretations and are not accepted here.
