| Kangxi: | 《康熙字典·一部·二》上：〔古文〕丄𠄞《廣韻》《集韻》《韻會》《正韻》𡘋時亮切，音尙。在上之上，對下之稱。崇也，尊也。《易·乾·文言》本乎天者親上。又《廣韻》君也。太上極尊之稱。《蔡邕·獨斷》上者，尊位所在。但言上，不敢言尊號。又上日。《書·舜典》正月上日。《註》孔氏曰：上日，朔日也。葉氏曰：上旬之日。曾氏曰：如上戊，上辛，上丁之類。又姓。漢上雄，明上觀，上志。又上官，複姓。又《唐韻》時掌切《集韻》《韻會》《正韻》是掌切，𡘋商上聲。登也，升也，自下而上也。《易·需卦》雲上于天。《禮·曲禮》拾級聚足，連步以上。又進也。《前漢·東方朔傳》朔上三千奏牘。又與尙通。《詩·魏風》上愼旃哉。《前漢·賈誼傳》上親，上齒，上賢，上貴。又《匡衡傳》治天下者審所上。又《韻補》叶辰羊切，音常。《楚辭·九懷》臨淵兮汪洋，顧林兮忽荒。修予兮袿衣，騎霓兮南上。又叶時刃切，音愼。《王微觀海詩》照本苟不昧，在末理知瑩。忽乗摶角勢，超騰送崖上。又叶矢忍切，音審。《郭璞·遊仙詩》翹首望太淸，朝雲無增景。雖欲思陵化，龍津未易上。《說文》上，高也。指事。時掌切。◎按字有動靜音，諸韻皆以上聲，是掌切，爲升上之上，屬動，去聲，時亮切，爲本在物上之上，屬靜。今詳《說文》上聲上字，高也，是指物而言，則本在物上之上亦作上聲矣。依諸韻分動靜音爲是。後倣此。 考證：〔《楚辭·九懷》臨淵兮汪洋，顧林兮忽荒。修予兮袿衣，騎電兮忽上。〕謹照原文騎電改騎霓。忽上改南上。 |
