煒燁（上韋鬼反下炎輒反古文正體字毛詩傳云煒赤貌也說文盛明貌也從火韋聲廣雅云燁光明貌古今正字從火[日/((傘-(企-止))-┬+ㄎ)]聲[日/((傘-(企-止))-┬+ㄎ)]音同上正體字錄作熚謬也）。

煒燁 [brilliant and blazing]: The first character is read with the fanqie wei + gui; the second character is read with the fanqie yan + zhe; these are the orthodox forms in ancient characters. The Mao Commentary on the Shijing says: 'Wei means the appearance of redness.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'The appearance of abundant brightness; composed of fire (火) with wei (韋) as phonetic.' The Guangya says: 'Ye means brightly shining.' The Gujin zhengzi analyzes it as composed of fire (火) with [日/((傘-(企-止))-┬+ㄎ)] as phonetic. The character [日/((傘-(企-止))-┬+ㄎ)] has the same pronunciation as above. In orthodox script it is written thus; the copy of the Lu writes it as 熚, which is erroneous.
