陶家（又作匋同大勞反又或借音遙史記陶瓦器也蒼頡篇陶作瓦家也舜始為陶于河濱是也案西域地多卑溼不得穿窯但累杯器露燒之耳窯音姚）。

陶家 (also written 匋; both táo in fanqie: 大 + 勞; or sometimes phonetically borrowed as yáo. The Shiji states: “Táo means earthenware pottery.” The Cangjiepian says: “Táo refers to a family that makes earthenware; Emperor Shun first made pottery on the riverbank,” which is this. Note that in the Western Regions, the land is mostly low and damp, so they cannot dig kilns, but merely stack cups and vessels to fire them in the open air; kiln [窯] is pronounced yáo).
