湫水（酒由反案湫者即有龍池水也或在深谷摧山壅水以為龍池或在平原川澤但有龍池水即號為湫可就祈禱說文隘下也從水秋聲也）。

湫水 (The fanqie is jiǔ + yóu [qiū]. Upon examination, a qiū is a pool with water that harbors a dragon. It may be in a deep ravine where a collapsed mountain blocked the water to form a dragon pool, or on a plain with rivers and marshes; whenever there is a pool with water harboring a dragon, it is called a qiū, and one may go there to pray. The Shuowen jiezi states: "A low, narrow place; it takes its radical from shuǐ ('water') and its sound from qiū").
