Continuous heavy rain (霖[泳-永+(瑤-王)]; the upper character [霖] is fanqie 立砧. 霖[泳-永+(瑤-王)] is the orthodox writing; for the treatise text to write it with 'rain' as 霪 is a popular form. The Kaosheng says: 'Rain lasting three days or more is called 霖.' Guo's commentary on the Erya says: 'Long-lasting rain that does not cease is called 霖[泳-永+(瑤-王)].' The commentary on the Shijing says: '[泳-永+(瑤-王)] means heavy rain.' Jia Kui's commentary on the Guoyu says: 'Protracted rain.' It is composed with 'rain' (雨) as semantic and 林 as phonetic).
