Chou Collection, Upper Volume Radical: Mouth (kǒu) Character: You Kangxi stroke count: 18 Page 212, Entry 40 Tang Rhymes (Tangyun) and Collected Rhymes (Jiyun) state: pronounced you. The pronunciation is the same as the character for worry. Explaining Characters and Phrases (Shuowen Jiezi) defines it as the appearance of hesitation when speaking. Correction of Characters (Zhengzitong) mentions the phrase yiyouya in the Biography of Dongfang Shuo from the History of the Former Han Dynasty (Hanshu), meaning words that are not yet settled. Note: The original text of the History of the Former Han Dynasty is written with different characters. Furthermore, the Expanded Rhymes (Guangyun) defines diyou as sighing. It is also written in a variant form. The poem by Han Yu, Sent to Three Scholars on the Way to Jiangling, contains the line, standing for a long time sighing. Furthermore, the Jade Chapters (Yupian) cites the words of Laozi: all day crying but the throat does not gasp. Here, you refers to breath that is not smooth or a reversal of breath. Note: The currently circulating version of Laozi uses a different character. Furthermore, the Collected Rhymes (Jiyun) sometimes also writes it in a variant form. Note: In the Expanded Rhymes, you is defined as sighing, and the variant form is defined as breath reversal; they share the same pronunciation but have different meanings. The Collected Rhymes merged the two because the Jade Chapters defines you as breath reversal.
