4.35

善射(時夜反周禮六藝三曰五射說文從矢作䠶釋云弓弩發於身而中於遠曰射李斯小篆從寸作射寸法度也寸亦手也)。

Skilled in archery (善射: [射 is] pronounced *sh[i]* + *[y]e* [shè]. In the *Zhouli*, of the Six Arts, the third is called the Five Types of Archery. The *Shuowen [jiezi]* writes it as 䠶, classified under arrow (矢), and explains: "A bow or crossbow discharged from the person that hits at a distance is called *she*." Li Si's Small Seal script wrote it with *cun* (寸) as 射; *cun* signifies measure, and *cun* also signifies the hand).
