璿璣(隨緣反紀宜反孔注尚書云璿美玉璣衡玉者正天文之器運轉者也說文並從玉睿幾皆聲睿音悅歲反集作挺考聲謂碁局也非此義也)。

Armillary sphere (xuánjī: fanqie 隨 + 緣 [suí + yuán] and 紀 + 宜 [jì + yí]. Kong's commentary on the Book of Documents states: "Xuán is fine jade; the jī and hèng of jade are rotating instruments used to calibrate celestial movements." The Shuowen jiezi states: "Both take the radical 玉, with 睿 and 幾 as their respective phonetic components." 睿 is fanqie 悅 + 歲 [yuè + suì]. The collection writes 挺; the Kaosheng notes it means a chessboard, which is not this meaning).
