Etymology

[edit]

From theLiterary Chineseforeword byŌtomo no Tabito to poems 815-846 in the fifth book of theMan'yōshū (c. 759CE). Relevant part of the foreword:

于時、初春披鏡前之薫珮後之。(初春の令月にして、気淑く風和らぎ、梅は鏡前の粉を披き、蘭は珮後の香を薫す。)
It was in new spring, in afair month,
When the air was clear and the wind agentle breeze.
Plum flowers blossomed a beauty's charming white
And the fragrance of the orchids was their sweet perfume.

TheMan'yōshū passage alludes in turn to arhapsody written in 138CE by theHan polymath and statesmanZhang Heng, titled歸田賦 /归田赋(Guītián Fù,Return to the Field).[1] Below is the relevant part of the rhapsody with translation by Liu Wu-chi (1990), with slightly different choices of English for the same Chinese words:

於是百草[Classical Chinese,trad.]
于是百草[Classical Chinese,simp.]
From:Return to the Field, byZhang Heng, 138CE
Yúshì zhòng chūnlìngyuè, shí qì qīng; yuán xí yù mào, bǎicǎo zī róng.[Pinyin]
Then comes young spring, in afine month,
When the wind ismild and the air clear.
Plains and swamps are overgrown with verdure
And the hundred grasses become rank and thick.

With reference to both contexts, a general understanding of this kanji compound is thus along the lines of "goodharmony", though it should be noted that this sense of "good" of the common character(rei) is otherwise very rare.
