康熙字典文字版 【丑集下】【大字部】奔
〔古文〕犇【唐韻】博昆切【集韻】【韻會】【正韻】逋昆切，𠀤本平聲。【說文】走也。【爾雅·釋宮】堂上謂之行，堂下謂之步，門外謂之趨，中庭謂之走，大路謂之奔。一曰趨事恐後曰奔。【詩·周頌】駿奔走在廟。　又嫁娶而禮不備亦曰奔。【周禮·地官·媒氏】仲春之月，令會男女，奔者不禁，謂不必六禮備，非淫奔也。　又凡物皆言奔。【詩·鄘風】鶉之奔奔。【小雅】鹿斯之奔。【石鼓文】霝雨奔樹。【韓愈·秋懷詩】鳴聲若有意，顚倒相追奔。空堂黃昏暮，我坐默不言。○按奔言俱十三元韻，《正字通》沿《字彙》之誤，奔叶音邊，豈以言在一先韻耶。　又姓。石晉將奔洪進。　又【集韻】【韻會】𠀤方問切，音憤。覆敗也。【李陵·與蘇武書】斬將搴旗，追奔逐北。　又【廣韻】甫悶切【集韻】【韻會】補悶切【正韻】逋悶切，𠀤本去聲。急赴也。【釋名】變也。有急變奔赴之也。【增韻】奔走，湊集也。　又叶於夷切，音依。【崔亭伯七依】乃命長秋使驅獸，夷羿作虞人。騰句喙以追飛，騁韓盧以逐奔。　【說文】从夭，賁省聲，入夭部。俗省作奔。𢍃，奔本字。
考證：〔【爾雅·釋居】堂上謂之行。〕　謹照原書釋居改釋宮。〔【詩·齊風】鶉之奔奔。〕　謹照原書齊風改鄘風。
