犀角 [xī jiǎo] [xi jiao]—
1. The horn of a rhinoceros (犀牛的角 [xi niu de jiao]). Composed of keratin fibers (角質纖維 [jiao zhi xian wei]), it is hard and fine (堅硬細緻 [jian ying xi zhi]). It can be used as medicine (入藥 [ru yao]) and has the effects (功效 [gong xiao]) of strengthening the heart (強心 [qiang xin]), reducing fever (解熱 [jie re]), detoxifying (去毒 [qu du]), and stopping bleeding (止血 [zhi xue]). It can also be used to make seals (圖章 [tu zhang]) or other artifacts (器物 [qi wu]).
2. A raised bone on the forehead (額頭上隆起的骨 [e tou shang long qi de gu]). Legend (傳說 [chuan shuo]) has it that it is a sign of a noble person (貴人之相 [gui ren zhi xiang]). From "Strategies of the Warring States: Strategies of Zhongshan" (《戰國策 [zhan guo ce]．中山策 [zhong shan ce]》): "Her appearance and complexion already surpassed ordinary people. As for her eyebrows and eyes, with a balanced nose bridge and forehead (准頞權衡 [zhun e quan heng]), a rhinoceros horn-like prominence on the forehead and crescent moon-like eyebrows (偃月 [yan yue]), she is indeed a queen/consort of an emperor (帝王之后 [di wang zhi hou]), not a concubine of a feudal lord (諸侯之姬 [zhu hou zhi ji])."
