Chou Collection, Upper Volume Radical: Enclosure (wéi) 囤 Kangxi Stroke Count: 7 Page 217, Entry 07 Pronounced sun (third tone). Pronounced mu (fourth tone). Read as dun. Shuowen Jiezi (Shuowen Jiezi) originally written as a variant form. Refers to a round granary made of woven bamboo. It is made by weaving split bamboo into a round shape, used for storing grain. Xu Kai states: In current common parlance, it is called a grain-basket (chuán). Yupian (Yupian) defines it as a small granary. Liushu Gu (Liushu Gu) states that dun and jun are similar implements. Also, Jiyun (Jiyun) provides the pronunciation as tun, which is the same as the sound of tun. The meaning is the same. Note: Jiyun provides the pronunciation as tun, and Zihui (Zihui) treats it as a common variant of tun, which is incorrect. Textual Research: Current common parlance calls it a grain-basket (chuán). Another interpretation states it is bamboo split and woven into a circle to store grain. We respectfully observe: The phrase "In current common parlance, it is called a grain-basket (chuán)" is found in Xu Kai's Commentary on the Shuowen Jiezi (Shuowen Jiezi Xichuan). The phrase "Another interpretation states it is a bamboo flute" is not present in the Shuowen Jiezi (Shuowen Jiezi) or the Commentary (Xichuan). It is now corrected to: "Woven by splitting bamboo into a circle to store grain. Xu Kai states: In current common parlance, it is called a grain-basket (chuán)."
