Xīyí (joyful and harmonious) (the first character has the fanqie xū + jī. The Zitong says: "Xī means harmony." The Kaosheng says: "It means fine." It is formed with the radical 灬 and [(厂-一)*臣*巳] phonetic. 灬 has the fanqie bì + yáo; 巸 has the same sound as above. The second character has the fanqie yǐ + zhī. The Kaosheng says: "It means delight." The Shuowen jiezi says: "It means harmonious." It is formed with the "heart" radical and the phonetic tái; tái sounds like yí, seen in the Erya. In ancient script, it is also written with tái).
