3.52

Palace chambers (宮闈: the first character has the fanqie 居戎 [ju + rong / gōng]. The Shiben says: "Yu built palace residences." The Erya says: "A palace is called a residence." The Liji says: "From the creation of lineages to the establishment of heirs, all resided in distinct palaces." Note that in ancient times, the noble and the base equally used the term 'palace'; only since the Qin and Han has it designated the residence of kings alone. The second character has the fanqie 雨非 [yu + fei / wéi]. The Erya says: "Inner gates within a palace are called '闈'." Guo Pu's commentary says: "This refers to small connecting gates; the smaller ones are called '闈'.")
