Classical horse character

19421/20992

駜 is a classical Chinese word for a well-fed, strong horse. The Book of Poetry uses it to praise a horse team, and its commentary reads that strength as a model of capable ministers. A pinyin IME may bury 駜 among common candidates, so Cangjie or Unicode entry can be easier.

Text symbol

What 駜 means

It means a well-fed, strong horse. The Book of Poetry, a collection of classical Chinese verse, uses 駜 in the ode 有駜 to praise a horse team. The character combines 馬, the horse-meaning component, with 必, its sound component.

The ode repeats 有駜有駜, then changes the horse description in each stanza. Its traditional commentary carries the praise from strong horses to capable ministers serving their ruler; the setting also includes court drinking and shared celebration.

What does 駜 mean when someone sends it?

Alone, it names a literary horse; quotation context sets the reading. Outside a quotation, 駜 sounds deliberately archaic. In a passage about the ode's ministers, it can carry the commentary's praise of capable service.

Classical and literary; in an ordinary modern message it sounds deliberately archaic.
