Collected Rhymes (Jiyun): Also pronounced xian. Also pronounced xuan. The meaning is the same. One source says it refers to women's makeup. Collected Rhymes (Jiyun): Also pronounced xun. Long Commentary (Changjian): Xun refers to ten days. It is used as an expression for when a woman first arrives, which is why the character is formed with the component for ten days. Also pronounced jun. Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters (Shuowen Jiezi): Means to be equal; male and female together. Dictionary of Characters (Zihui): Also pronounced xin, the name of a county.
