Kangxi Dictionary

Zi Collection, Upper Volume, Page 250, Entry 02 The character 䠶 (shè) is the original form of "shè" (to shoot). It refers to shooting an arrow from near the body to hit a distant target. The character's form is composed of "shǐ" (arrow) and "shēn" (body). Xu Kai's commentary states: "A person shooting an arrow must have a stable body before they can hit the target. The seal script character is written as 射 (shè), using "cùn" (inch) as a radical component, which also emphasizes regulation and standardization. For a detailed explanation, see the commentary for the character 射 (shè)."
