43.186

𤯞黃 (Pronounced with the fanqie 戚經 [qīng]; the color of the east. The Erya states: 'Spring is the azure Yang.' The character is formed from 丹 [cinnabar] and 生 [to produce], since wood produces cinnabar; cinnabar and azure (vermilion and blue) reliably correspond. The sūtra text has 綪, pronounced with the fanqie 且見 [qiàn], meaning fine silk, which is not the proper orthography here).
