However, after "Guangya" (Expanded Erya) edited in around the third century, '鮓' (pickled fish) was defined to be the same as '鮨' (salted fish) which had been defined as being different, which showed that '鮓' was not such a popular food.
しかし、三世紀頃に編まれた『広雅』からは、それまで別の意味であった「鮨（魚の塩辛）」と同じものとされており、「鮓」があまりポピュラーな食べ物ではなかったことがうかがえる。
