說文解字 - Shuowen: 《食部》館客舍也。从食官聲。《周禮》：五十里有市，市有館，館有積，以待朝聘之客。

康熙字典文字版 【戌集下】【食字部】館
【唐韻】【集韻】【韻會】【正韻】𠀤古玩切，音貫。【玉篇】客舍。【詩·鄭風】適子之館兮。【禮·曾子問】公館復，私館不復。【註】公館，若今縣官舍也。【周禮·地官·遺人】五十里有市，市有𠋫館，𠋫館有積。　又【西京雜記】公孫弘開客館，招天下之士。一曰欽賢館，德任毗贊佐理隂陽者居之。次曰翹材館，才堪九列二千石者居之。次曰接士館，一善一藝者居之。　又【周禮·春官·司巫】祭祀則共匰主及道布及蒩館。【註】蒩之言藉也，祭食有當藉者，館所以承蒩，謂若今筐也。　又重館，地名，在今山東魚臺縣。【左傳·僖三十一年】宿於重館。　又與管通。【儀禮·聘禮】管人布幕於寢門外。【註】管猶館也。　又【集韻】【韻會】𠀤古緩切，音管。義同。　又叶扃縣切，音睊。【徐幹·齊都賦】後宮內庭，𡣕妾之館。衆偉所施，極功窮變。
考證：〔【周禮·春官·司巫】祭祀則共匰主及道布蒩館。【註】蒩之言藉也，祭祀有當藉者，館所以承蒩，謂若今筐也。〕　謹照原文蒩館上增及字。祭祀改祭食。
