舜
shùn
Emperor Shun, legendary sage-king and last of the Five Emperors.
Meaning
Proper noun referring to the mythological figure known for filial piety and meritocratic succession.
Distinctions
Conceptually linked with 順 (shùn; smooth, obedient, aligned). In stylized or philosophical contexts, the glyph may evoke these qualities via allusive punning or metonymy for effortless governance and filial obedience.
Translator notes
The glyph is primarily a proper noun. Avoid treating it as a general adjective (e.g., "harmonious") or a verb (e.g., "harmonizing"); while these qualities are associated with the figure of Shun, they are not independent lexical meanings of the glyph itself.
