說文解字 - Shuowen: 《水部》萍苹也。水艸也。从水、苹，苹亦聲。

康熙字典文字版 【申集上】【艸字部】萍
【唐韻】薄經切【集韻】旁經切，𠀤音甁。【玉篇】萍草。【本草註】萍卽楊花所化，一葉經宿卽生數葉，葉下有微鬚，卽其根也。【禮·月令】萍始生。【周禮·萍氏註】萍之草無根而浮，取名於其不沉溺。【後漢·鄭𤣥傳】萍浮南北。　又靑萍，劒名。　又地名。【竹書紀年】蒐于萍澤。【晉書·地理志】萍鄕，屬安成郡。　又【集韻】【正韻】與苹同。【韻會】苹、萍本是一物，字異而音義相同。◎按《詩》食野之苹，毛氏傳云：苹，䓑也。鄭氏箋云：苹，藾蕭也。疏云：萍是水中之草，非鹿所食。故鄭氏不从毛氏，觀下食蒿食芩，皆陸草可知，則苹當依經疏藾蕭，萍是浮萍，絕然二物，字可通借，義不相通，《韻會》之說非。
