Pure and plain (淳質; the upper character [淳] is fanqie 順倫; it is also written [月*(高/羊)] or 惇. In treatises it is written 淳, which is a popular variant. On examination, the character for 'pure and plain' properly takes 'wine' (酉) as 𨣶. The Hanshu says: 'Forming a single substance of a single colour is called 𨣶, meaning unmixed.' Kong's commentary on the Shangshu says: 'Pure.' It also says: 'Engaging in unified conduct.' Jia Kui says: 'Exclusive.' The Guangya says: 'Substantial.' The Shuowen says it is composed with 酉 as semantic and 𦎫 as phonetic. The sound of 𦎫 is the same as above. It is also written 純).
