"Various crops and harvests" (for jia [稼, planting/crops], the pronunciation is jia [嫁]; for se [穡, harvest], the pronunciation is se [色]. Ma Rong's commentary on the Analects says: "Planting the five grains is called jia." The Commentary on the Mao Classic of Poetry says: "Planting them is called jia; harvesting them is called se." Zheng Xuan's commentary on the Rites of Zhou notes: "Speaking of 'crops and harvest' is like sowing and reaping: it refers to seeds propagating one another, grasping the profit of sprouting stalks and fruit.").
