Yanxi (炎羲: the second character is [pronounced with the fanqie] 喜飢 [xī]; the transmitted text writes 曦, which is a popular form; character dictionaries correctly write it as 羲. Kong's commentary on the Shangshu states: 'Xi and He are charioteers of the sun.' Also, the Shanhai jing states: 'Xihe, wife of the Heavenly Emperor, gave birth to ten suns.' Wang Yi's commentary on the Chuci states: 'Xi means luminous and bright.' The Shuowen jiezi states: 'It takes the 𠔃 radical and 義 phonetic').
