| − | The | + | The Shuōwén Seal form of 乱(亂) luàn ‘(good/bad) governance’ combines 𤔔() luàn ‘tangled/untangle (string/line/thread)’ (phonosemantic), and 乚(乙) representing the free/untangled (governed) end of a tangled string (cf. 𤔔); in the simple form 𤔔 is replaced by 舌. The Shuōwén gloss of 亂 is “治” ‘(good) governance; (order)’ in received texts, amended to “不治” ‘(bad) governance; (chaos)’ (DYC), reflecting differing interpretations on why a word meaning ‘chaos’ was glossed with a word meaning ‘order’ (cf. ䷾䷿). |
