宜澍(之樹反淮南子云春雨之灌萬物無地而不澍無物而不生說文云時雨所以澍生萬物也從水從尌省聲正體作澍籀文作澍)。

Timely soaking rain (宜澍): Has the fanqie zhi + shu (shù). The Huainanzi says: ‘When the spring rain irrigates the myriad things, there is no place it does not soak (shù), and nothing that does not grow.’ The Shuowen says: ‘Timely rain by which the myriad things are soaked and brought to life; it takes “water” (水) with an abbreviated shù (尌) as phonetic.’ The standard form is written as 澍; in seal script it is written as 澍.
