What 醻 means
It names a ritual wine offering, then repayment or reward.
The Shuowen, an early Chinese character dictionary, defines 醻 as the host offering wine to a guest. A passage in the Classic of Poetry, an ancient Chinese poetry collection, uses it for a reciprocal wine offering; later dictionaries extend the sense to repaying, rewarding, and thanking.
Archaic and classical; it belongs to an older written register.
Use 酬 for ordinary modern Chinese prose unless preserving an older source.
