Blazing and resplendent (赫弈): The upper character has the fanqie *xiǎng* + *è* (赫). The Mao commentary on the *Classic of Poetry* says: '*Hè* means red appearance.' The *Shuowen [jiezi]* derives it from two 赤 placed side by side. The lower character is pronounced *yì* (弈). The *Classic of Poetry* says: '*Yì-yì* means light, graceful, and expansive appearance.' Zheng [Xuan]'s commentary on the *Classic of Poetry* says: '*Hè-yì* means bright and radiant appearance.' It is a phono-semantic compound.
