What 趪 means
It describes effort under weight, chiefly in 趪趪.
In Zhang Heng’s Eastern Han poem 西京賦 (“Western Capital Rhapsody”), 洪鐘萬鈞，猛虡趪趪 pictures a great bell hanging from an ornate stand: 趪趪 describes the stand bearing the load. Here 虡 means a stand for a bell or drum.
How did 趪 enter the dictionaries?
Later Chinese dictionaries preserve its recorded senses.
The 2024 edition of Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionary notes that the early character dictionary 說文解字 (“Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters”) does not list 趪. Later works, including 玉篇 (“Jade Chapters”) and 廣韻 (“Expanded Rhymes”), preserve its literary use and gloss it as effort under weight or martial bearing; another gloss describes a dance-like manner.
集韻 (“Collected Rhymes”) records a separate reading for 趪 with a gloss describing a way of walking. Context distinguishes that sense from the repeated literary word.
