康熙字典文字版 【申集上】【艸字部】花
〔古文〕蘤【唐韻】【集韻】【正韻】𠀤呼瓜切，音譁。【正字通】草木之葩也。【歐陽修·花品序】洛陽人稱花曰某花某花，稱牡丹則直曰花。　又地名。【廣州志】南海縣有花田。　又姓。唐有花驚定。【杜甫詩】成都猛將有花卿。【通志·氏族略】宋有尚書郞花尹。　又【韻補】音訶。【棗據詩】延首觀神州，廻晴盻曲阿。芳林挺修榦，一歲再三花。　【說文】本作華。榮也。从艸𠂹，鄭氏曰：𠂹，象華葉垂敷之形，亏象蔕萼也。【唐韻古音】按花字，自南北朝以上不見于書，晉以下書中閒用花字，或是後人攺易。唯《後漢書·李諧·述身賦》曰：樹先春而動色，草迎歲而發花。又云：肆雕章之腴旨，咀文藝之英華。花字與華𠀤用。而五經、諸子、楚辭、先秦、兩漢之書，皆古文相傳，凡華字未有攺爲花者。考太武帝始光二年三月初造新字千餘，頒之遠近，以爲楷式，如花字之比，得非造于魏晉以下之新字乎。
