30.13

苑囿 (Fanqie yu[an] + yu[an]. The Cang Jie pian says: 'Enclosures for raising oxen and horses are called you; enclosures for raising birds and beasts are called yuan.' The Shuowen gives it with 艸 and 夗 as phonetic. In the sūtra it is written as 菀, which is also acceptable. The lower character is fanqie y[ou] + ji[u]. The Kaosheng says: 'An enclosure for keeping milu deer is called you.' Zheng's commentary on the Zhouli says: 'A you is like what is nowadays called a yuan.' The Shuowen says: 'A you is enclosed by a wall.' It also says: 'An enclosure for keeping beasts is called you; it derives from 囗 with 有 as phonetic.' 囗 is pronounced 韋.)
