What 緧 means
It names the strap that holds a cart animal’s harness at the rear.
The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, glosses 緧 as “馬紂也” (“a horse’s rear strap”). The Zhouli, a Chinese ritual and government text, discusses rear restraint when a straight-shafted cart descends.
Archaic, technical Chinese vocabulary for animal harness.
