康熙字典文字版 【申集上】【艸字部】蒯
【唐韻】苦怪切，音喟。【左傳·成九年】雖有絲麻，無棄菅蒯。正義：蒯與菅連，亦菅之類。【儀禮·喪服傳疏】屨者藨蒯之菲也。《禮·玉藻》【註】蒯席澀，便于洗足也。【張衡·西京賦】草則葴莎菅蒯。【註】蒯草中爲索。　又地名。【左傳·昭二十三年】攻蒯，蒯潰。【註】河南縣蒯鄕是也。　又姓。【前漢·蒯通傳】蒯通，范陽人。　又蒯緱。【史記·孟嘗君傳註】蒯緱，把劒之物，謂以劒繩纏之。　又【韻補】苦對切，音塊。引《左傳》叶雖有姬姜，無棄蕉萃韻。　又【索隱·蒯成侯緤註】引《三蒼》，音裴。
考證：〔【左傳·成八年】雖有絲麻，無棄菅蒯。【註】毛詩疏曰，菅與蒯連，亦菅之類。〕　謹照原文八年改九年。註毛詩疏曰改正義。菅與蒯改蒯與菅。〔【註】蒯席〕　謹按此玉藻註非喪服註，註上增禮玉藻三字。
