舞蹈（上無主反切韻歌舞也左傳云舞者所以節八音而行八風也爾雅云舞𨂜雩也說文從舛無省聲律文從人作儛非下徒到反切韻踐履也說文云從足舀聲也案手謂之舞足謂之蹈也律文作踏音徒荅反非舞蹈義也舛音川兖反）。

Dancing and stamping (舞蹈: the first character is [pronounced with the] fanqie [initial and final of] 無 and 主; the Qieyun says it means singing and dancing; the Zuo Zhuan says dancing is that by which the eight tones are modulated and the eight winds are enacted; the Erya says 'wǔ' means hopping in the rain sacrifice; the Shuowen derives it from 'chuǎn' and an abbreviated phonetic 'wú'; the Vinaya text incorrectly writes it with the 'person' radical as 儛. The second character is [pronounced with the] fanqie [initial and final of] 徒 and 到; the Qieyun says it means treading upon; the Shuowen says it takes the 'foot' radical and the phonetic 'yǎo'; in proper usage, movement of the hands is called 'wǔ', and of the feet is called 'dǎo'; the Vinaya text writes it as 踏, pronounced with the fanqie [initial and final of] 徒 and 荅, which does not convey the meaning of 'wǔdǎo'; 'chuǎn' is pronounced with the fanqie [initial and final of] 川 and 兖).
