澍雨（上朱樹反淮南子云春雨之灌萬物無地而不澍無物而不生也說文從水尌聲尌音同上下雨字說文云一像天冂像雲覆也〡即下也四點像雨空中雰霏也冂音覓〡音古本反會意字也）。

Poured-down rain (澍雨: the first character has the fanqie *zh- / sh-*, the Huainanzi says: "The spring rain irrigates the myriad things; there is no place it does not pour down (shu 澍), and nothing that does not grow"; the Shuowen says: "Derived from water with shu 尌 as phonetic; shu 尌 is pronounced the same"; for the character below, yu 雨 (rain), the Shuowen says: "The horizontal stroke 一 resembles heaven, 冂 resembles clouds covering above, and the vertical line 丨 represents falling; the four dots resemble rain misting and drifting in mid-air; 冂 is pronounced mi 覓, and 丨 has the fanqie *g- / b-*; it is an associative compound").
