Latent cold and heat (潛寒暑: The upper character has the fanqie jian-yan [qián]. The Guangya states: 'Qian means to submerge; to hide.' The Erya states: 'To sink; deep.' The Shuowen states: 'To wade in water; it derives from water with the sound qian (朁).' Qian has the fanqie sound qi-gan [cǎn]. Writings with two 'heaven' (天) or two 'husband' (夫) components are erroneous abbreviations. The lower character has the fanqie han-an [hán]. The Cang Jie pian states: 'Han means cold.' The Shuowen states: 'Freezing; it derives from roof (宀), person (人), and grass (𦬇), with ice (仌) below.' Roof (宀) is pronounced mian; grass (𦬇) is pronounced mang; ice (仌) is pronounced bing. The ancient character mang has grass above and below).
