Noun

雎鳩

  1. (literary) a kind of waterbird with a dark brown upper body, white lower body and sharp talons suited to catching fish

Usage notes

Zheng Qiao (apud Elvin 2010) proposes that 雎鳩 denotes the mallards, as ospreys cannot make the sounds "guan-guan".[1] Zhu Xi also describes the 雎鳩 as resembling the 鳧鷖凫鹥 (“wild duck and seagull”).[2] Arthur Waley translates 王雎, 雎鳩's synonym, as "royal-coot".[2][3]
