Here’s a digitization of the first one and the second one, including a picture of an edition of the work itself. I found it by googling the names of the works in the quoted section.
If that’s not sufficient, I suggest you ask at your local (or most local) university library.
…citations… to books… not broken links lol.
And on page 185, we find the exact text cited

Here’s a link to the Erya.
I’m following this exchange with steadily increasing fascination, still on the fence on whether Pandas exist.
I found a lead. Could help explain why pandas got so famous in China so recently. Taipei Times isn’t a great source but it’s late and I got excited. https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2009/02/08/2003435562

That’s not how citations work.
You’ll notice under the “General References” section the full citation of the work.
Because the work is cited multiple times, it is appropriate to use a shortened citation, following the proper style according to the wikipedia guidelines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Shortened_footnotes
