<< review queue entry 82572 - submitted by 'kbaiko' >> Google - 1000 results --------------------- Editor: It's a phrase that appears in 儒林外史. I think the reason it was included in one or two dictionaries is so that students of classical literature can look up what it means when they come across it. Here is the sentence in 儒林外史: 推开了门,见蟏蛸满室,蓬蒿满径,知是果然去得久了。 ... and here is an annotation for the phrase in a modern edition of the novel: 蠨蛸滿室,蠨蛸是一種蜘蛛,而蠨蛸滿室則指蜘蛛爬滿了屋子,形容久無人居。 M has this entry: 蠨蛸滿堂 蠨蛸，一種蜘蛛。蠨蛸滿堂指蜘蛛爬滿了屋子。形容久無人居。 《儒林外史·第一回》：「推開了門，見蠨蛸滿堂，蓬蒿滿徑，知是果然去得久了。」 Similar phrases appear in other classical works: 见四壁尘蒙，蟏蛸满户，案有残书数卷，偶得时文稿一本。 (from 《子不语》 by 袁枚) |
