Pronounced chou lin (falling tone) in Tang Yun, and chi lin (falling tone) in Jiyun, same pronunciation as chen (琛). Explained in Shuowen Jiezi as a boat moving forward. Explained in Zhengzitong as ships sailing continuously.
Also pronounced chou jin (falling tone) in Jiyun, same pronunciation as qin (䏹). Same meaning. Zhengzitong points out that in the Shangshu (Book of Documents), the character rong (肜) in "rong ri" (肜日) is from the radical "moon" (月) and pronounced similarly to rong (融); the character tong (彤) in "tong gong" (彤弓) in the Dan section is from "dan" (丹) and pronounced similarly to tong (同). These two characters are different from the character xian (䑣). They are often confused in common usage, which is incorrect. See the explanation for the character rong (肜) in the Shan (彡) radical section for cross-reference.
