淳源（上常倫反廣韻云朴也說文云水清也作漳又作淳字也下愚袁反說文云水泉曰源山海經曰河出崐崘西北隅李巡云河水始出其色白郭璞注爾雅云潛流地中汩漱沙壤眾水溷淆宜其濁黃也）。

Chunyuan 淳源 (The first character has the fanqie phonetic spelling [ch- + -ún > ch-] cháng lún 反. The Guangyun says: "Simple and unadorned." The Shuowen jiezi says: "Clear water." Written as 漳 or as 淳. The second character has the fanqie phonetic spelling [y- + -uán > y-] yú yuán 反. The Shuowen jiezi says: "A water spring is called a source (yuan 源)." The Shanhaijing states: "The Yellow River emerges from the northwest corner of the Kunlun mountains." Li Xun says: "When the Yellow River water first emerges, its colour is white." Guo Pu's commentary on the Erya says: "It flows secretly underground, gushing through sand and soil, where many waters mix together; hence its turbid yellow colour").
