Etymology

Gonghe Regency

Traditionally interpreted as "joint harmony", as during the Gonghe regency, the Zhou Dynasty was considered to be ruled jointly by two dukes; but according to the Bamboo Annals, the Gonghe regency was ruled by a single person—the Count of Gong (共伯), whose name was He (和). This reading has almost certainly been confirmed by a bronze inscription.

republic

Wasei kango (和製漢語), orthographically borrowed from Japanese 共 (きょう)和 (わ) (kyōwa, “republicanism”), which was in turn a semantic readaptation of Chinese 共和 (gònghé, “Gonghe Regency”) (see above).
