璿璣(上似緣反下音機尚書云璿璣玉衡以齊七政孔注云正天文之器運轉者也說文義同二字並從玉睿聲集作珽俗字也)。

璿璣 [armillary sphere / celestial jade instrument] (The upper character is pronounced with the fanqie sì + yuán; the lower is pronounced jī. The Shangshu says: "[Observe] the armillary sphere and jade transverse tube to align the seven regulators." Kong's commentary says: "The turning instrument that rectifies the astronomical phenomena." The Shuowen has the same meaning: "Both characters take the jade radical, with ruì as phonetic." The collected edition has 珽, which is a vulgar character.)
