怀瑾握瑜 The other half of the pair

怀瑾握瑜兮，穷不知所示。

I carry jade in my breast and hold it in my hand; in my poverty I do not know how to show it.

楚辞 · 怀沙 · our translation

瑾 and 瑜 are both fine jade. A name takes the stone, not Qu Yuan's predicament. 瑾与瑜并举，都是美玉。名字用「瑾」，和用「瑜」是同一层：取的是玉，不是屈原的处境。

瑾瑜美玉怀瑾瑾之清瑾

In a name

The jade that pairs with 瑜.

「瑾」是和「瑜」成对的那块玉。
