Yanmin 燕珉 (The first character has the fanqie phonetic spelling [y- + -ān > y-] yú tián 反. The Qieyun says: "An ancient state name." The Erya says: "Yan is Youzhou." The second character has the fanqie phonetic spelling [m- + -ín > m-] wǔ jīn 反. The Kaosheng says: "A beautiful stone inferior to jade." The Shanhaijing says: "The northern slope of Mount Qi has much white alabaster (baimin 白珉)." Guo Pu's commentary says: "Min is a stone resembling jade." The Shuowen jiezi says: "It takes the jade radical with 民 as the phonetic." There are texts that write min as 珉, where the min character was not written completely to observe the imperial taboo on the personal name of the Tang dynasty emperor [Li Shimin]).
