51.105

青茜（千見反顧野王云茜草可以染絳也說文從艸西聲論作蒨亦通）。

青茜 (The second character has the fanqie 千見. Gu Yewang states: "The qian (茜) plant can dye cloth crimson." The Shuowen jiezi states that it is derived from the 'grass' radical (艸) with 西 as phonetic. In the treatise, it is written as 蒨, which is also acceptable.)
