20.10

隄封（底泥反如淳注漢書云旁曰隄題曰封韋昭云積土為封限也說文隄䧜也從阜是省聲也下封字說文云諸侯之土也公侯方百里伯方七十里子男方五十里從土作𡉚古封字也今從重土從寸會意字也籀文從土從𡵄作𰉨𡵄音峯）。

Territorial borders (隄封: *di-ni* fanqie; Ru Chun's commentary on the *Hanshu* says: the sides are called *di*, the markers are called *feng*; Wei Zhao says: piling up earth to make a border marker; the *Shuowen jiezi* says: *di* means an embankment; it derives from 阜 with the abbreviated 是 as phonetic; for the lower character *feng*, the *Shuowen jiezi* says: the land of feudal lords; dukes and marquises have a hundred li square, earls have seventy li square, viscounts and barons have fifty li square; written with 土 as 𡉚, which is the ancient character for *feng*; nowadays it is written with doubled 土 and 寸 as an associative compound; the seal script derives from 土 and 𡵄 as 𰉨; 𡵄 is pronounced *feng*).
