罥網（上决犬反正體作羂亦作罥考聲云以繩捕也韻英繫取也案羂者罥索也下無倣反顧野王曰網者羅𮊁之總名也易曰昔庖𦏁氏結繩為網以畋以漁以養萬民世本云𦬆作羅冈朱忠曰伏𦏁氏也或作羅罔或作网皆是古文象形字也）。

罥網 (the first character is the fanqie 决 + 犬 [juàn]; the standard form is 羂, also written as 罥; the Kaosheng says: "Catching with a cord." The Yunying: "Tying and capturing." Note: 羂 refers to a snare-cord. The second character is the fanqie 無 + 倣 [wǎng]; Gu Yewang says: "網 is the general name for hunting nets and bird nets." The Yijing says: "In ancient times Baoxi knotted cords to make nets to hunt and fish, thereby nourishing the myriad people." The Shiben says: "Mang made bird nets and nets." Zhu Zhong says: "That refers to Fuxi." It is also written as 羅罔 or as 网, all of which are ancient pictographic characters).
