精粹（下雖翠反周易云純粹精也王注楚辭云粹精粹也廣雅云純粹不雜也說文義同從米卒聲）。

Pure essence (精粹: the second character has the sound s- [雖] + -uì [翠] fanqie. The Classic of Changes says: 'Unadulterated and pure (粹) is essence.' Wang's commentary on the Songs of Chu says: '粹 means pure essence.' The Guangya says: 'Pure without mixture.' The Shuowen has the same meaning: 'Formed from the rice radical (米) with zú (卒) as phonetic').
