Shen Collection, Lower Volume Radical: Clothes (yī) Character: Jiong Kangxi Stroke Count: 16 Page 1122, Entry 18 Pronounced jiong (rising tone). Jade Chapters (Yupian): A garment without a lining. Book of Odes (Shijing), Weifeng: To wear a simple garment over brocade. Commentary (Jian): This refers to an unlined garment worn over another to make the appearance less conspicuous. Note that the Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters (Shuowen) defines this as a type of hemp, and the Sea of Characters (Pianhai) provides a definition that is not accurate; therefore, the definition from the Jade Chapters is cited here as the correct explanation. Collection of Rhymes (Jiyun): Also written in a variant form (jiong).
