90.122

引筰 [Pulling the bamboo cable-bridge] (The second character is pronounced like 昨. The *Cangjiepian* states: "*Zuo* is a bamboo cable." Note: Regarding *zuo*, in the western mountains of Shu there are deep, impassable chasms; bamboo cables are set up across both banks. People ride upon them, secured by a mechanical sling, travelling back and forth as if on a bridge; it is called a *zuo*. Formed with 'bamboo' and has 作 as phonetic. In the transmitted text it is written with 'silk' as 䋏, which is incorrect).
