莽莽（恾牓反楚辭草木莽莽王注云莽莽盛也廣雅莽莽茂也說文南昌謂大善逐兔艸中象莽從犬茻亦聲傳從水作𣾘是水遠貌非也）。

莽莽 (Mang [恾] + bang [牓] fanqie. The Chuci says: 'Vegetation is mangmang (莽莽).' Wang Yi's commentary says: 'Mangmang means flourishing.' The Guangya says: 'Mangmang means luxuriant.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'In Nanchang, it refers to a dog that is good at chasing hares in the grass; it depicts a mang (莽).' It has quan 'dog' and mang (茻) as phonetic. In the transmission, writing it with shui 'water' as 𣾘, meaning the appearance of vast waters, is incorrect).
