Handcart and carriage (輦輿; the first character is [pronounced with the] fanqie lì + [zh]ǎn. Zheng's commentary to the Zhouli says: “It is what the queen rides at leisure when dwelling within the palace; it has light wheels and is drawn forward by people.” Du's commentary to the Zuozhuan says: “Being harnessed by humans is called niǎn.” The Shuowen says: “It takes fú and chē as semantic classifiers; fú stands in front of the carriage pulling it.” Fú is pronounced bàn. The second character is [pronounced with the] fanqie yú + [zh]ū. The Zuozhuan says: “The shi serves the zao, and the zao serves the yu.” Du's commentary says: “Yú means the multitudes.” Su Lin's commentary to the Hanshu says: “Yú is like carrying something and travelling; that is the meaning of yú.” The Shuowen says: “It is a carriage box. It takes chē as semantic classifier and [臼/丌] as phonetic.” [臼/丌] is pronounced yú).
