憯

The *Book of Songs* says: "The people are without limit, they are treacherous and good at deceit, they compete in using force, they become thieves and bandits..." In the line 'The people are groaning,' the phrase can also be written using the character '憯'.

In Du Fu's poem "The Northern Expedition," the line 'A bleak wind comes from the northwest, following the Uighurs' uses a term that can be understood as '憯憯,' describing a desolate and somber scene.
