    Etymology edit

    From Middle Chinese 簫／箫 (sew, “xiao (Chinese flute)”).

    Pronunciation edit

    Noun edit

    簫(しょう) • (shō) ←せう (seu)?

    1. xiao, a vertically blown Chinese flute

    Usage notes edit

    Synonymous with the longer phrase 簫の笛 (shō no fue, literally “shō flute”).[1] However, given the rarity of this kanji in writing, and the large number of possible single-kanji terms pronounced as shō in Japanese, this longer term that specifies 笛 (“flute”) is used to clarify and disambiguate.
