Yin Collection, Lower Volume Radical: Wide (guǎng) Kangxi Strokes: 15 Page 351, Entry 01 Pronounced wu (rising tone). Shuowen (Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters): Rooms surrounding the area under the main hall. Shi Ming (Explication of Names): A large building is called a wu. Wu carries the meaning of covering. It is also referred to as ya in the Bing and Ji regions. History of the Former Han (Qianhan Shu), Biography of Dou Ying: Gold bestowed as a reward was placed under the gallery. Note: Wu refers to a gatehouse. Also pronounced wu. Fan wu describes the appearance of lush vegetation. Book of Documents (Shujing), Hongfan: The hundred grasses are lush. Also pronounced as a rising tone. Discourses of the States (Jinyu), Book of Odes (Shijing): It says, if the millet does not become millet, it cannot be lush. Note: Wu is read as wu (rising tone). It is interchangeable with wu. Book of Etiquette and Ceremonial (Yili), Master’s Capping Ceremony: At the side is placed a wine jar. Note: In ancient texts, wu was written as wu. Textual Research: Book of Etiquette and Ceremonial (Yili), Mourning Rites for Officers: The wine jar ritual is in the attire. Note: I have verified this sentence is from the Master’s Capping Ceremony. The original text consists of the phrase "a wine jar is placed at the side," followed by "sweet wine," and then "in the north of the garments," rather than "the wine jar ritual is in the attire" as a single phrase. I have corrected it to conform to the original text as the Master’s Capping Ceremony, "a wine jar is placed at the side."
