Lotus flower (菡萏花: 菡 is read 胡 + 感 fanqie. 萏 is read 徒 + 感 fanqie. The Shuowen says: 'The unopened flower of the fuqu (lotus) is called handan; the opened one is called furong.' The Hanshu yinyi says: '菡萏 describes an abundant appearance.' In the Yupian the two characters are written as 蓞𧂄; in character dictionaries as 菡菌; and in the Shuowen as 莟蓞).
