6.44

肅穆 ("solemn and serene": the upper character sù was already explained in the earlier Fascicle 470 of this fascicle. The lower character has the fanqie 莫卜 [mù]. Erya says: "Mù means reverent." Mao Commentary to the Classic of Poetry says: "Beautiful." The Shifa says: "Spreading virtue and holding to righteousness is called mù; having an inner essence revealed outwardly is called mù." Shuowen says: "Mù means harmonious; composed of 禾 with [白/少/(彰-章)] as the phonetic." [白/少/(彰-章)] has the same sound as above; the character [白/少/(彰-章)] in Shuowen is composed of 白, 小, and 彡; 彡 is pronounced 衫.)
