荊棘（上景迎反廣雅楚荊也有壯荊蔓荊之異也赤莖大實者壯荊也及有山荊廣州記曰梅納縣出金荊說文云楚木也從草刑聲也下兢力反方言云江淮之間凡草木有刺傷人者皆謂之棘說文酸束也而藂生有刺木也從二束相竝經從二釆非也）。

荊棘 (Brambles and thorns: The upper character has the fanqie 景迎 [jīng]. The Guangya says: 'Chu is 荊; there are differences such as zhuangjing and manjing. Those with red stems and large fruits are zhuangjing, and there is also shanjing.' The Guangzhou ji says: 'Meina County produces golden chaste trees.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'A tree of Chu; derived from 艸 [grass] with the sound 刑.' The lower character has the fanqie 兢力 [jí]. The Fangyan says: 'Between the Changjiang and Huai Rivers, all plants and trees with thorns that hurt people are called 棘.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Sour jujube, a thorny woody plant growing in clusters; derived from two 朿 alongside each other.' The sūtra writes it with two 釆, which is incorrect).
