韶武（常招反顧野王云韶舜樂名也故周禮云舞大韶鄭注云紹繼也言舜能繼堯之德也說文從音召聲下武謂武舞也言武舞王者之樂也古今正字云武者定禍亂威服不臣戢兵曰武故以止戈為武字也）。

Shaowu (韶武; cháng-zhāo fan [sháo]. Gu Yewang says: 'Sháo is the name of Shun's music. Therefore the Rites of Zhou speaks of dancing the Great Shao. Zheng's commentary says: Sháo means continuing, meaning that Shun was able to continue the virtue of Yao. The Shuowen jiezi says: Derived from yīn 音 [sound] with zhào 召 as phonetic.' The second character wǔ 武 refers to the military dance, meaning that the military dance is the music of kings. The Gujin zhengzi says: 'Wǔ means putting down misfortune and turmoil, awing and subduing the insubordinate, and laying down arms; hence stopping spears (zhǐ gē 止戈) forms the character wǔ 武.').
