### 第四十三卷牡牝

> Chapter 43

脾盡脾死二反說文畜母也雌也牡莫走反說文畜父也雄也詩傳曰飛曰雄雌走曰牝牡至於雉鳴求其牡則飛鳥亦有牝牡不但走者也。

> The spleen is exhausted, the spleen dies, and there are two readings. The \*Shuowen\* says it means a female animal, also a female. A male is \*mǒu zǒu\* (another reading), the \*Shuowen\* says it is the father of livestock, also the male. The \*Shi\* commentary says: those that fly are called male and female, those that walk are called female and male. As for the pheasant crying out seeking its mate, even flying birds have males and females, not just those that walk.
