The Kaosheng says: ‘Chún means clear and pure.’ The Shuowen says: ‘Chún takes “water” (水) with [〦/口/(畢-田+曰)] as phonetic.’ The lower character has the fanqie zhen + ri (zhì). Zheng's commentary on the Yili says: ‘Zhì means upright.’ Du Yu's commentary on the Zuozhuan says: ‘Zhì means sincere.’ Gu Yewang says: ‘Zhì means pure and unadorned.’ The Guangya says: ‘Zhì means prudent in conduct; zhì means stable and settled.’ The Posthumous Titles Rules (Yifa) state: ‘When name and reality do not err, it is called zhì; being centered and upright without loss is called zhì.’ The Shuowen says: ‘Using commodities as mutual pledges; it takes “cowrie” (貝) and suǒ (所).’ Zhuì (贅) has the fanqie zhi + rui (zhuì); zhì (斦) has the fanqie yu + jin (yín).
