初南溪
[chū nán xī]
'初(Chu)' means 'beginning'; '南(Nan)' stands for 'south', pointing toward geography or location. '溪(Xi)' represents 'stream'. Combining them forms picturesque poetry about a stream originating from somewhere in the south or flowing through southerly areas at dawn. Such imagery paints tranquil scenes associated closely with early morning freshness and natural landscapes. Often found in classical Chinese literature to describe serene beginnings or pure origins free of worldliness, it brings up thoughts on tranquility, simplicity, and renewal.
