What 詙 means
Its meaning depends on the Chinese phrase around it.
In historian Sima Zhen’s Tang-era supplementary chronicle 三皇本紀 to the Chinese history 史記, an alternate account names the legendary ruler Shennong’s consort 聽妃詙; the main account calls her 聽訞. A Ming-era play uses 評詙 for “commentary”; Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionary also lists 評跋 and 評泊 as variants.
