鷄鴈(上又作雞同古奚反說文云鷄知時之畜也郭璞注爾雅云陽溝巨鶤皆古之鷄名也鶤音昆下五晏反禮記曰孟春之月鴻鴈來賓鄭箋毛詩云大曰鴻小曰鴈爾雅曰舒鴈鵝也)。

Roosters and wild geese (鷄鴈: the first [character] is also written as 雞, identical; fanqie 古奚. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'The rooster is the domestic animal that knows the hours.' Guo Pu's commentary to the Erya says: 'Yang-gou and giant *kun* are all ancient names for roosters'; *kun* is pronounced *kun*. The second [character] is fanqie 五晏. The Liji says: 'In the first month of spring, the wild geese arrive as guests.' Zheng's gloss to the Mao Commentary of the Shijing says: 'The large ones are called *hong*; the small ones are called *yan*.' The Erya says: 'The relaxed goose (舒鴈) is the domestic goose').
