Spears and shields (矛盾: the first is *m[ò]-h[óu]*. Zheng Xuan's commentary on the *Book of Rites* says: "A *qiu* spear." The *Shuowen jiezi* says: "Twenty feet long, mounted on war chariots; a pictograph; not found in character dictionaries." The second is *sh[ù]-y[ǐn]*. Zheng Xuan's commentary on the *Rites of Zhou* says: "The five kinds of shields belong to bucklers and mantlets, whose specific names have not all been heard." The *Fangyan* says: "East of the Pass it is called *gan*; west of the Pass it is called *dun*." The *Shuowen jiezi* says: "A buckler; composed of 厂, 十, and 目; a pictograph; 瞂 is pronounced *fá*." In the present sūtra it is written with 木 as 楯, which is incorrect, as that denotes a railing. Neither 鉾 nor 楯 is properly used here; neither is the standard graph).
