47.116

煥爛 (brilliant and splendid; the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 歡 and 貫 [=huàn]. The second character is pronounced with the fanqie 闌 and 且 [=làn]. The Lunyu says: 'How brilliant (煥) was the cultural splendor of his achievements!' The Fangyan says: 'When cooked by fire it is called 爛.' The Kaosheng says: '煥 and 爛 both mean bright and luminous.' The Gujin zhengzi states that both take 火 as semantic component, with 奐 and 闌 as phonetic components).
