引筰(音昨蒼頡篇云筰竹索也案筰者蜀川西山有深絕澗不可越施竹索也於兩岸人乘其上機關自繫往來如橋梁名曰筰從竹作聲傳文從糸作䋏非也)。

引筰 [Pulling the bamboo cable-bridge] (The second character is pronounced like 昨. The *Cangjiepian* states: "*Zuo* is a bamboo cable." Note: Regarding *zuo*, in the western mountains of Shu there are deep, impassable chasms; bamboo cables are set up across both banks. People ride upon them, secured by a mechanical sling, travelling back and forth as if on a bridge; it is called a *zuo*. Formed with 'bamboo' and has 作 as phonetic. In the transmitted text it is written with 'silk' as 䋏, which is incorrect).
