Walls and moats (牆塹: the first character has the fanqie 匠 + 羊; it is the standard form of the character 牆. In the treatise text it is written as 塘, which is a popular variant. Gu Yewang says: “牆 also means an earthen wall.” The Lunyu says: “The Master's wall is several fathoms high.” The Shuowen says: “A low wall providing screening; classified under the radical 爿 with 嗇 phonetic.” 嗇 has the fanqie 使 + 力. The second character has the fanqie 韱 + 漸).
