隍壍（上音皇城下壕坑也下七焰反壕外土壟也說文云城下有水曰池無水曰隍築土削成曰牆土壟之上栽植樹木為壍）。

Huángqiàn 隍壍 (dry moat and trench; the first character is pronounced huáng, a ditch or pit beneath a city wall. The second character is pronounced with the fanqie qī + yàn, an earthen mound outside a moat. The Shuowen says: 'Beneath a city wall, if there is water it is called chí; if there is no water it is called huáng. Pounding earth to make a sheer wall is called qiáng; planting trees on an earthen mound forms a qiàn').
