66.62

Accumulated firewood (薪積; the upper character [薪] is fanqie 信津. The Kaosheng says: '薪 is chopped wood.' Zheng's commentary on the Liji says: '薪 is firewood.' Moreover, his commentary on the Zhouli says: 'Lumber is called 薪.' The Wenzidian shuo also says: 'Firewood.' It is composed with 'grass' (艸) as semantic and 新 as phonetic. The lower character [積] is fanqie 資賜. The Zhouli says: 'The overseer of provisions manages the stockpiles and accumulations (委積) of the regions.' Zheng's commentary says: 'A smaller amount is called 委; a larger amount is called 積.' The Shuowen says: 'To gather.' It is composed with 'grain' (禾) as semantic and 責 as phonetic. For the treatise to write it with 'grass' as 𧂐 is incorrect).
