Formed from the sun viewed through silk threads; anciently used as the character for "manifest." Alternatively, it signifies the appearance of many mouths. Pronounced like jǐn.

It means "numerous and bright," or "subtle and minute." From "Leipian": a head ornament that is bright. Also means "to appear" or "radiance." Also a surname. Also, from "Tangyun": wǔ hé qiē. From "Jiyun": è hé qiē, pronounced gé. Also, from "Jiyun": qú yǐn qiē, pronounced jìn. Meaning is the same.
