Si Collection, Middle Volume Radical: Fire (huǒ) 烵 Kangxi strokes: 11 Page 671, Entry 17 According to the Book of Rhymes (Jiyun) and the Classified Dictionary (Leipian), it is pronounced zhuo; it refers to the flourishing appearance of the colors of flowers and plants. According to the Correct Meaning Guide (Zhengzitong), this is a common variant of the character for scorching. The Collection of Characters (Zihui) mistakenly separates them into two entries. However, the Collection of Characters is based on the Book of Rhymes and the Classified Dictionary. The character for scorching has many meanings, and the Jade Compendium (Yupian) also includes the meaning of flourishing flowers; thus it seems it can be used interchangeably with this character, though its other meanings are not the same. The Correct Meaning Guide treats this character as a common variant of the character for scorching and refutes the separation made by the Collection of Characters, which is incorrect.
