5.51

二示軌模，六，一一如疏對。上六，願柏梁者，漢時殿名。天火曰災，漢方法以海中鴟魚尾安殿脊以禳之，災遂息。世昧其由，謂之鴟吻。八紘八方也，休，美也。自勵者，勵，勉也。四海者，《博物志》云「天地四方皆海水相通，地在其中，蓋無幾也。七戎六蠻九夷八狄形類不同，總而言之謂之四海。」皆言近於海也。

Second, showing models, six [items], each matching the Commentary one by one. Above are six. Regarding the wish for the Bailiang [Palace]: it was the name of a hall during the Han dynasty. Fire from heaven is called a calamity. A Han technique was to place the tail of a mythical fish (chiyu) from the sea on the ridge of the palace to ward it off, and the calamity ceased. Worldly people were ignorant of its origin and called it an owl-kiss (chiwen). The eight cords are the eight directions. "Xiu" means beauty. "To encourage oneself": "li" means to strive. Regarding the "four seas": the Bowuzhi says: "The sea waters communicate in all four directions of heaven and earth, and the land is in their midst, covering barely anything. The seven Rong, six Man, nine Yi, and eight Di differ in form and category, but spoken of collectively they are called the Four Seas." All are said to be close to the sea.
