    Etymology

    From Middle Chinese  / (sew, xiao (Chinese flute)).

    Pronunciation

    Noun

    (しょう) (shōせう (seu)?

    1. xiao, a vertically blown Chinese flute

    Usage notes

    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 (flute) is used to clarify and disambiguate.
