Summary
Page from chapter 3 of the Shuowen Jiezi, an ancient Chinese character dictionary, including a description of the character 說 shuō. Original text: 說釋也。从言。兑聲。"shuō means 'explain', from 言 with 兑 duì giving sound." (Norman 1988:69) The Song dynasty scholar Xu Xuan excised the 聲 marker (as the sounds no longer matched in his time) and added fanqie pronunciations (Boltz 1993:436).
