珪璋（上桂畦反周禮云珪玉珽也自天子降及五等諸侯各執以保其身也白虎通云珪之言潔也說文從重土瑞玉也上員下方古文從玉作珪與傳文同下灼陽反鄭玄注周禮云半珪曰璋白虎通云璋之言明也說文從玉章聲也）。

Gui and zhang jade sceptres (珪璋: the first character has the fanqie 桂 + 畦. The Rites of Zhou says: "The guī is a jade tablet; from the Son of Heaven down to the five ranks of feudal lords, each holds one to protect his person." The Baihu tong says: "Guī speaks of purity." The Shuowen jiezi says it takes doubled 土 and is an auspicious jade, round on top and square below; the ancient script writes it with 玉 as 珪, identical to the transmitted text. The second character has the fanqie 灼 + 陽. Zheng Xuan's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: "Half a guī is called a zhāng." The Baihu tong says: "Zhāng speaks of brilliance." The Shuowen jiezi takes 玉 as semantic classifier and 章 as phonetic component).
