楚辞
In the "Chu Ci", Zhulong is also rendered as Chuolong, which can variously mean "Distant" or "Quarrelsome Dragon", and as Zhuolong, variously "Outstanding" or "Departed Dragon". According to present reconstructions, these variant characters (now "chuò") and (now "zhuó") sounded closer to the pronunciation of in old Chinese, although not homophonous.
