Wangmi (vast and overflowing) (the first character has the fanqie: 烏 + 黃 [wāng]; the *Xu Hanshu* states: 'Wangwang: a vast expanse of pool of ten thousand qing.' Du's commentary to the *Zuo zhuan* states: 'Wang means a pool.' Wang Yi's commentary to the *Chuci* states: 'Wangyang means vast waters broad without limit.' The *Guangya* also states it means great. The *Wenzi dian shuo* states: 'Wang means deep and broad; it takes 氵 as semantic classifier and 王 as phonetic.' The second character has the fanqie: 藥 + 章 [yáng]; the Mao Commentary to the *Shijing* states: 'Yangyang is an appearance of abundance and greatness.' Kong's commentary to the *Shangshu* states: 'Yangyang means fine and good.' The *Shuowen* states it takes 氵 as semantic classifier and 芋 as phonetic. Character lexicons write it as 洋; the sound and explanation are both the same).
