引:
1. "Shuowen": 禬 refers to where a belt is tied. Commentary states: "In the 17th year of Duke Zhao, Zuo Zhuan: 'Uncle Xiang said: Clothes have junctures, belts have knots.' - Du's commentary: 'Juncture refers to the collar; knot refers to the belt.'"
《说文》:禬,带所结也。段注:“昭公十七年左传:‘叔向曰:衣有禬,带有结。’杜注:“禬,领会;结,带结也。”
2. "Zuo Zhuan, Duke Zhao, 11th year": "Clothes have junctures, belts have knots; the words of the court must be understood at the level of public acknowledgement, thus ensuring order; it is important to not overlook the appearance of knots and junctures, thus reflecting one's demeanor."
《左传·昭公十一年》:衣有禬,带有结,会朝之言,必闻于表著之位,所以昭事序也;视不过结禬之中,所以道容貌也。
