Tips

register
Rare and literary. (qìng) means 'to be exhausted / used up to nothing' (as in 'so many crimes that even all the bamboo strips couldn't record them'). Combined with 'body', the result is 'a body with nothing left on it'. Modern speakers will say 赤身 (chìshēn) or 赤裸 (chìluǒ) instead.
mistakes
Don't confuse (qìng, 'exhausted') with the visually similar (xīn, 'fragrant') or (qìng, 'stone chime').
