What 珽 means
The character names a ruler's large jade tablet used in court ritual. Treat 珽 as an evolved historical term, not a named invention: the earliest textual evidence defended here is the Eastern Han Shuowen tradition of 88–144 CE, which defines it as a three-chi 大圭 with a broadened, hammer-like head, tied in commentary to the king's audience with the sun.
Later sources broaden the gloss to 玉笏, a jade hand-tablet, and chronicles use it for a concrete court object, including a scene of an emperor striking a courtier. 大圭 and 笏 are documented relatives by definition, not visual resemblance. The sources checked, as of 2026-09-08, establish no distinct modern everyday Japanese or Korean sense.
Archaic, ceremonial, and specialist; in ordinary text, 珽 feels antiquarian or deliberately exact.
Do not gloss it as “jade” alone: it names a court tablet.
