What 壛 means
A gate inside a settlement or a lane.
The Chinese character dictionary Shuowen Jiezi treats 壛 as 閻 with 土 (“earth”) in place of 門 (“gate”); 閻 appears in Qin-period slips. The Chu Ci collection's poem Da Zhao uses 步壛 for a long corridor. A Song-era note compares it with 步櫩 in the Han-era poem Shanglin fu.
