Dragon has nine sons, one of which is called jai canthus, and is ferocious in nature. Jaime, name. "Liezi · Tangwen · Jichang Xueshe": two years later, although the end of the cone turned canthus, it was not instantaneous. Canthus, orbit. In Zheng Zi Tong, it is called "Wu" also. What is "Wu" in Chinese? Wu means to be unjust, disobedient and disobeying; he is the homonym of Shi. Disobedience is not to face up, with the corner of the eye to see. From the canthus of canthus, we can see that canthus means canthus. In traditional Chinese medicine, the inner canthus is called inner canthus, and the outer canthus is called outer canthus. Corollary: usually, the two words in this idiom should be two nouns that are parallel or similar. The ancients should have different names for this kind of human organ, but I can't tell which is the inner corner of the eye and which is the outer corner of the eye. But it's right that jair and canthus are the names of different parts of the eye. Of course, maybe jair is in the middle of the eye, canthus is the corner of the eye, but according to the explanation of zhengzitong, this inference is not very accurate.
