History of the Former Han (Hanshu), Biography of Sima Xiangru: Commentary: Zhenfen means abundant and prosperous. Pronounced chou-ren (phonetic reverse). Textual Research: In the poem by Xie Tiao, the original text reads who unchanging. We have corrected this to follow the original book by adding the character for can after the character for who. Guangyun: Pronounced chou-ren (phonetic reverse); Jiyun: Pronounced zhi-ren (phonetic reverse). Zhenfen means to be abundant. We note that the Guangyun does not contain the entry for zhen pronounced chou-ren, and the Jiyun does not contain the phrase zhenfen meaning abundant. We have corrected the entry to refer to the History of the Former Han, Biography of Sima Xiangru, with the commentary stating that zhenfen means abundant and prosperous, with the pronunciation chou-ren (phonetic reverse).
