源派（上愚袁反說文云水泉曰源字書云水本也漢書云張騫使西域窮河源其山多玉石而不見崑崙西域傳云河有兩源一出𦵇嶺一出千闐也下疋封反考聲分流也說文云邪流作𠂢同有作派俗字非也）。

Source and branch (源派: the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 愚袁 [ng- + -iuɐn = yuán]. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'A water spring is called a source (源).' A dictionary says: 'The origin of a stream.' The Hanshu says: 'Zhang Qian was sent as an envoy to the Western Regions to trace the source of the Yellow River; its mountains had many jades and stones, but he did not see Mount Kunlun.' The Western Regions Account says: 'The Yellow River has two sources: one emerges from the Congling Mountains, and one emerges from Khotan.' The second character is pronounced with the fanqie 疋封 [p- + -ioŋ = pài]. The Kaosheng says: 'Divided currents.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'A divergent stream is written 𠂢.' Written as 派 is a non-standard popular character).
