字词 | 瑟 |
释义 | »» 瑟 sè MC srit 1. zither-like instrument variously described as having sixteen, (most often) twenty-five, or fifty strings, with movable bridges; translate as “zithern” to distinguish from 琴 qín (“zither”), zither of seven strings, without bridges, and 箏 zhēng (“cither”), zither of intermediate size, with movable bridges. A more robust and serious instrument than the qín; the two together (琴瑟 qínsè) often metaphorical of conjugal harmony or close friendship. N.B. Do not translate any of these as “lute,” which is the pipa 琵琶, a quite different, round-bodied instrument held before one’s chest. 2. sedate, solemn, grave; dignified. 3. flourishing, dense, thick, teeming. 4. rdup., onom. soughing and sighing of wind, esp. in autumn; also (med.), a blue-gem, mostly lapis lazuli with some sodalite and possibly sapphire > deep-blue color, deep azure, lapis-blue. 5. (bn.) 瑟索 sèsuǒ (MC srit-sak) or 瑟縮 sèsuǒ (MC srit-srjuwk), coiled and curled, twisted together, gathered and drawn in, shrinking back, narrowing down.
