變易(兵汴反賈注國語云更也唯識論云時換形質曰變說文同國語從支䜌聲也下音亦孔注尚書云改易也賈注國語云變易也異也說文蜥易也在室曰守宮在澤曰蜥易象形字也一云日月為易字凡有九畫會意字也)。

變易 (Change and transformation: [變 has the] fanqie 兵汴 [biàn]. Jia's commentary on the Guoyu says: 'To alter.' The Cheng weishi lun says: 'The alteration of form and substance over time is called 變.' The Shuowen jiezi agrees with the Guoyu, deriving it from 攴 with the sound 䜌. The lower character has the sound 亦 [yì]. Kong's commentary on the Shangshu says: 'To alter and exchange.' Jia's commentary on the Guoyu says: 'To alter; to differ.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'A chameleon; when in a house it is called a gecko, and when in marshes it is called a chameleon; a pictographic character.' Another view says: 'Sun and moon make 易, a character of nine strokes in all, which is an associative compound').
