  From: circa 3^rd BCE,《荀子•榮辱》
  According to 楊倞 (Yáng Jìng, “fl. 819”), here the character carries a similar meaning to 祛 (qū, “to lose”), while Yu Yue (俞樾, 1821~1907) reckoned it as a variant of 阹 (qū, “to bar; to obstruct”)
  Fúyáng zhī yú yě, qū yú shā ér sī shuǐ, zé wú dài yǐ. [Pinyin]
  The mullet dart about near the surface of the water, but when they are stranded on the sand, though they may long for water, they will never reach it again.
