《經音義》云：「什者十也，聚也雜也。亦會數之名也。謂資生之物。」《莊子》、《關尹》曰：「凡有貌象聲色者，皆物也。」《易》曰：「天地絪縕，萬物化醇。」《玉篇》云：「凡生天地之間，皆謂物也。事也類也。」

The Jing yinyi states: 'Shi means ten; it means an aggregation and a variety. It is also an encompassing term for numbers. It refers to items that support livelihood.' Zhuangzi and Guanyin say: 'Whatever possesses form, image, sound, or color is a thing (wu).' The Yijing states: 'Heaven and earth blend in harmony, and the ten thousand things are transformed into ripeness.' The Yupian states: 'Whatever is produced between heaven and earth is called a thing (wu). It also means affairs and categories.'
