說文解字 - Shuowen: 《艸部》苞艸也。南陽以為麤履。从艸包聲。

康熙字典文字版 【申集上】【艸字部】苞
【唐韻】布交切【集韻】【韻會】班交切，𠀤音包。【說文】草也，南陽以爲麤履。【司馬相如·子虛賦】其高燥，則生葴菥苞荔。【註】苞，藨也。【漢書註】卽今所用作席者。　又本也。【易·否卦】繫于苞桑。【疏】凡物繫於桑之苞本，則牢固也。【詩·商頌】苞有三蘖。　又草木叢生也。【爾雅疏】物叢生曰苞，齊人名曰槇。　又通包。【儀禮·旣夕】苞二。【註】所以裹羊豕之肉。【子貢·詩傳】朋友相贈賦木瓜，子曰：見苞苴之禮焉。　又【韻補】逋侯切，音近褒。【詩·大雅】如山之苞。叶下流韻。【揚子·太𤣥經】蒼水維流，厥美可以達于瓜苞。　又上聲。【詩·大雅】實方實苞。叶下好韻。　又【集韻】蒲交切。同匏。瓠也。又被表切，音殍。與藨同。◎按《郭忠恕·佩觿集》草名之苞，不當通厥包之包。苞，平表反。包，班交反。截然爲二。然經典俱通用，今仍舊。
考證：〔子夏【詩傳】朋友相贈賦木瓜，子曰，見苞苴之禮焉。〕　謹按詩傳是子貢作，今据改子貢。
