Great cedar (大椿: [the second character is] *chu-lun* [ch- + -ūn = chūn] in fanqie; the Kaosheng says: “椿 is the name of a tree.” Zhuangzi says: “The great cedar is a divine tree, taking eight hundred years as one spring, and eight hundred years as one autumn.” It is borrowed here as a metaphor to evoke longevity).
