Valiant and fierce (驍捍: the first character is [pronounced with the fanqie] 晈堯 [xiāo]. Xu Shuzhong says: '驍 means courageous and quick.' The Han shu mentions the 'valiant cavalry general' (驍騎將軍). The Guangya states: 'It means strong.' The Shuowen jiezi states: '驍 means a fine horse; it takes the "horse" radical and 堯 phonetic.' The second character is [pronounced with the fanqie] 寒旦 [hàn]; it was already explained in the nineteenth fascicle; also written with the 'heart' radical as 忓, with the same meaning).
