沙滷（上所加反爾雅曰渾沙出郭注云江東呼水中沙堆為潬西有沙州即鳴沙山也下郎古反爾雅曰滷苦也郭注云謂苦地也案沙漠鹹滷之地也二字並合從水經文作砂乃砂石也作鹵乃鹵簿樂名引天子車駕者也並非沙滷字也）。

Sand and saline marshes (shalu 沙滷: the first character has the fanqie [reading] suo + jia [sha]. The Erya says: "Turbid sand emerges." Guo [Pu's] commentary says: "East of the [Yangtze] River, sandbanks in the water are called shan; in the west there is Shazhou, which is the Mingsha Mountain." The second character has the fanqie [reading] lang + gu [lu]. The Erya says: "Saline is bitter." Guo's commentary says: "This refers to bitter soil." We note that it refers to desert and saline-bitter land. Both characters should properly take 'water' [as semantic component]. In the text of the scripture it is written 砂, which is granulated stone; when written 鹵, it is lubu, the name of court processional music that leads the Emperor's imperial carriage. Neither represents the characters for sand and saline marshes).
