罌 is a small-mouthed jar, an old character for an earthen vessel that holds liquids. You meet it today in 罌粟, the poppy word, and in older storage passages. Simplified Chinese writes the same character differently, so expect two written forms.

What 罌 means

A jar for holding or carrying liquids. Dictionaries record a small-seal form and later clerical writing. As of 2026 the checked sources do not establish an oracle-bone attestation for this exact graph.

In older and regional use it names storage vessels, including wooden carrying jars. In 罌粟 the swollen seed capsule was likened to a jar and the seeds to millet; by the 19th century the compound could also evoke opium and drug harm.
