3.8

弓矢(上居戎反釋名云弓穹也謂穹穹然說文云像形字也下又作矢笑皆音式是反世本云黃帝夷牟作矢也)。

弓矢 (The first character is pronounced 居 + 戎 fanqie. The Shiming says: 'Gong [bow] means qiong [vaulted], meaning arched and vaulted.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'A pictographic character.' The second character is also written 矢 or 笑; both are pronounced 式 + 是 fanqie. The Shiben says: 'Yi Mou, in the time of the Yellow Emperor, invented the arrow').
