杻械(上勑柳反或作抙下諧戒反在手曰杻在足曰械械桎梏也桎者足械也所以質於地也梏者手械也所以告於天也以此而言則杻不必唯在於手械不必偏在於足杻械桎梏枷鎻之通語也桎音質梏音谷從告也)。

Manacles and fetters (the upper character is [pronounced with the fanqie] 勑 + 柳; it is also written 抙. The lower is [pronounced with the fanqie] 諧 + 戒. What is on the hands is called niu; what is on the feet is called xie. Xie means shackles and stocks (zhigu): zhi are foot-irons, by which one is fixed to the ground; gu are hand-irons, by which one is reported to Heaven. Speaking from this, niu is not necessarily only on the hands, nor is xie exclusively on the feet; niu and xie are generic terms for shackles, stocks, cangues, and chains. Zhi is pronounced 質; gu is pronounced 谷, deriving from the告 radical).
