The pinyin of 清 is qīng.

Qing, a common Chinese character (first-level character), pronounced as qīng, is a pictophonetic character that was first seen in the Warring States period. The original meaning is the clear appearance of water, which is opposite to "turbidity"; it has been extended to mean noble, quiet, clear, honest, etc.; it is also used as a verb, such as clearing, sobering, etc.; it is also used as an ancient place name, water name, dynasty name, etc.

Qing, phonetic character. The characters of the Warring States Period and seal script are shaped from water and green sounds. From water, it means related to water; Qingsheng means pronunciation. The official version was changed to the official version, and the regular script was made to the clear version. In the six books, it belongs to phonogram. In bronze inscriptions and Warring States inscriptions, the mouth shape may be enhanced under the green sound, which has nothing to do with the meaning of the characters. This is a common practice in ancient inscriptions.

Shuowen: "Qing means 朖 (bright), which is the brightness of clear water." Duan Yucai's note: "朖 means 明ye. Clear and then bright, so the clouds clear the water and are bright." "Poetry· "Wei Feng·Fa Tan": "The river water is clear and rippled." Meanings such as noble, quiet, clear, and honest are all derived from it. It is also used as a verb, such as to clear, to wake up, etc. It is also used as an ancient place name, water name, dynasty name, etc.
