Chen Collection, Upper Volume Radical: Sun (rì) Mu (dusk) Kangxi stroke count: 15 Page 499, Entry 21 Broad Rhymes (Guangyun), Collected Rhymes (Jiyun), Rhyme Meetings (Yunhui), and Orthodox Rhymes (Zhengyun) all state it is pronounced mu. It was originally written as mo. Explanations of Graphs and Analysis of Characters (Shuowen Jiezi) explains the character mo, meaning the sun is about to set. The character is composed of sun and vegetation. Note: Looking toward the distance on a flat plain, the sun is about to set as if it were sinking into the grass. Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji), Biography of Wu Zixu: My sun is setting and the road ahead is still long. Qu Yuan, Encountering Sorrow (Lisao): I only fear that the beauty will grow old. Editorial note: Ancient classics originally all used the character mo. Nowadays, the character mu is sometimes used as a follow-up.
