盲龜（上武庚反切韻無目也文子曰師曠瞽盲也字書云盲無所見也下居追反說菀曰靈龜五色似金似玉背陰向陽上高像天下平法地大戴禮云甲蟲三百六十四神龜為之長爾雅曰一曰神龜也山海經云大苦山多三足龜）。

盲龜 (for the first character, [máng], fanqie 武庚 [m- + -æŋ = mˠæŋ/máng]. The Qieyun says: “Having no eyes.” The Wenzi says: “Music Master Kuang was blind (瞽盲).” The character books say: “盲 means seeing nothing.” For the second character, [guī], fanqie 居追 [k- + -wi = kwi/guī]. The Shuoyuan says: “The numinous turtle is five-coloured, resembling gold and jade; its back is dark (yin) and its belly faces the sun (yang). Elevated above, it resembles heaven; flat below, it models the earth.” The Da Dai Liji says: “There are three hundred and sixty-four shelled creatures, and the divine turtle is their elder.” The Erya says: “The first is called the divine turtle.” The Shanhaijing says: “Mount Daku has many three-legged turtles.”)
