  "etymology_text": "From the concept that the water source is so gentle at the source of a river, that a beverage vessel — 觴／觞 (shāng, “a kind of alcohol drinkware”) — can be steadily floated, as if in a banquet with \"floating cups\" (cf. 流觴曲水). For example, in the Xunzi it was said that\n:\n昔者江出於岷山；其始出也，其源可以濫觴；及其至江之津也，不放舟，不避風，則不可涉也。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]昔者江出于岷山；其始出也，其源可以滥觞；及其至江之津也，不放舟，不避风，则不可涉也。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]\nFrom: Xunzi, c. 3ʳᵈ century BCE\nXīzhě Jiāng chū yú Mínshān; qí shǐ chū yě, qí yuán kěyǐ lànshāng; jí qí zhì Jiāng zhī jīn yě, bù fàngzhōu, bù bìfēng, zé bùkě shè yě. [Pinyin]\nConsider the Jiang that flows out of the Min Mountains — at its source it used to be able so gentle that one may float a drinking vessels with it. Now at downstream wharfs, only with a boat may one attempt crossing it, and only if the wind permits.",
