What 旞 means
It names a feathered standard carried on a guide carriage.
In the Zhou dynasty’s ritual scheme, 旞 had complete feathers; 旌 had feathers split into sections and marked another vehicle. They were distinct standards, not alternate spellings.
Classical lexicons place the feathers on the staff and describe the ornament as five-colored.
Classical and specialist: a term from historical ritual language.
