18.54

Sowing and reaping (the upper character is [pronounced with the fanqie] 加 + 訝; the lower is 疎 + 力. The Mao Shijing says: 'No sowing, no reaping.' The commentary says: 'Planting it is called jia; harvesting it is called se.' The Shuowen says: 'It takes the grain radical with se as phonetic; it derives from coming into the granary: what comes is gathered and stored; hence a farmer is called sefu').
