"Dignified in appearance" — Classic of Poetry (Shijing), Minor Odes. In Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters (Shuowen Jiezi), it is written as bìbì. Note: In the poem Guests' Seats (Binyan) from the Shijing, the phrase "dignified in appearance" is used. Commentaries explain this as being disrespectful and lacking solemnity; following the preceding text that describes the state of being drunk, it refers to the loss of decorum after drinking. Shuowen Jiezi quotes the Shijing and explains it as having a dignified appearance, which is the opposite of the original meaning in the Shijing. This is an error in Shuowen Jiezi that various rhyme dictionaries have followed incorrectly. Also means to be filled or overflowing.
