醇醲 (The first character has the fanqie *shun* + *lun* [chún]. The *Zhouyi* states: "Pure (*chún*) and refined." Du's commentary on the *Zuo Zhuan* states: "*Chún* means substantial." The *Shuowen* states: "*Chún* means unwatered wine. Formed with *you* and has 𦎫 phonetic." Sūtra editions write it with *shui* (water) as 淳, which means clear, not the character for *chúnnóng* (rich, mellow). The second character has the fanqie *nü* + *long* [nóng]. The *Huainanzi* states: "Fatty and rich (*nóng*), sweet and crisp." The *Shuowen* states: "*Nóng* means thick wine. Formed with *you* and has *nong* phonetic." Sūtra editions write it with *shui* (water) as 濃, which is the appearance of heavy dew, and likewise not the character for *chúnnóng*).
