Carriage (che): (chang + ye [chē]. The Shuowen says: "The collective name for carts and wheels. Made by Xi Zhong of the Xia Dynasty." Its ancient sound was ju [jū]. In antiquity, a carriage [che] was like a dwelling [ju]; it was said that in moving about it was that in which people dwelt. Nowadays it is ju-she [dwelling-house]; it means that where the traveler resides is like dwelling in a house. It is a pictographic character).
