Etymology

The lyrics of the two versions of the Song to the Auspicious Cloud were based on a song written in Commentary of Shang Shu, which was said to have been sung by the ancient Chinese Emperor Shun, when he passed on the throne to Yu the Great. Its original lyrics in classical Chinese were:

"卿雲爛兮,糺縵縵兮。日月光華,旦復旦兮。"
"How bright is the Auspicious Cloud, How broad is its brilliancy.
The light is spectacular with sun or moon, How it revives dawn after dawn."
