Chinese character 铚

铚 names an old short sickle for cutting grain, especially its seed heads. Later texts also use it for harvesting, the cut grain heads, or an old county name. Its written trail includes the harvest phrase 铚艾; if someone sends it alone, the surrounding words decide which sense they mean.

What 铚 means

铚 names a small sickle for cutting grain, especially its seed-bearing heads. Later texts also use it to mean harvesting, the cut heads themselves, or the name of an old county.

Manuscripts from the ancient Chinese state of Chu use the form 銍. The poem 《诗经·周颂·臣工》, in 《诗经》 (an early Chinese poetry collection), preserves 铚艾 in a passage about preparing field tools for harvest.

What does 铚 mean in a message?

A lone 铚 leaves the intended sense unclear.

It could name the tool, the act of harvesting, or an old place. Ask for the surrounding phrase before deciding.

Classical and technical: its documented settings are historical harvest writing and place-name records.
