儁裳 (The first character has the fanqie phonetic spelling 遵 [zūn] + 峻 [jùn], [jùn]. Du Yu's commentary to the Zuo zhuan says: "'Jùn' means extraordinary." The Yupian and character dictionaries identify it as the same as the character 俊. It has already been explained in the sixth fascicle of the Biographies of Eminent Monks above. The second character has the sound 常 [cháng]. The Han Commentary to the Shijing says: "The lower part of a garment is called 'cháng'." The Baihu tong says: "'Cháng' means a screen (障); it is that by which one conceals and screens oneself." The Shuowen says: "It is written as 裳, meaning lower skirt").
