5.22

Moisten my [heart] (沃朕: the first character is pronounced *wu* + *gu* [= *wò*]; the *Shangshu* says: "Open your heart to moisten my heart"; Jia's commentary on the *Guoyu* says *wo* means to enrich or beautify; the *Guangya* says *wo* means clear; the *Shuowen jiezi* says *wo* means to irrigate; the second character, *zhen*, the *Erya* says *zhen* means 'I' or 'me'; note that in antiquity the noble and base used it alike, but from the First Emperor of Qin onward, only the Son of Heaven alone referred to himself as *zhen*).
