Definition
和易 is a literary adjective describing a person who is gentle, approachable, and unassuming — the kind of temperament that makes others feel at ease. It is often used in formal writing or to praise someone's character. Note that the correct pronunciation is hé yì, though the input pinyin only shows hé; the second syllable yì is essential when speaking.
