Following our "Explanation of Characters in Speaking" course, this lesson talks about the five Chinese characters of the "Ge" Department: "[Ge 叕], 鞌, 、 , 鞈". These five characters are not commonly used in modern Chinese, and most of the 57 Chinese characters in the "Ge" department are shape and sound characters, so the content of this lesson is still boring. The details of the five words are as follows:
1. [Ge Yi]. Read zhuó. The explanation given in the Shuowen Jiezi is: "[Ge Yi], the car tools also." From the leather, the clanging. "Shape sound word. The original meaning is the car equipment. "Zihui Gebu": "[Gebu], the car is equipped." "It must be a car tool, but what specifically refers to the car tool, there is no conclusion, from the analysis of the word "叕", it should refer to the things used to connect on the car.
Note that this word is glyph-wise and easily confused with "辍".
