八紘（音橫淮南子知八紘九野之形許注云紘維也說文從糸厷聲厷音同上傳從宀作宏宏大也）。

八紘 (The eight cords / eight outermost bounds: pronounced *héng*; the Huainanzi says: "Knowing the form of the eight outer cords and nine tracts." Xu's commentary says: "*Hong* means cords." The Shuowen [says]: "Formed with the silk radical and phonetic *hong*." *Hong* has the same pronunciation as above. In the transmission written with the roof radical as 宏 means vast).
