37.156

盛金盋 (the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 石 + 盈 [chéng]. Zheng's Commentary to the Zhouli says: "The six grains placed in a vessel are called chéng." The Shuowen says: "Chéng means placing millet and grain into a vessel." It is formed with the radical 皿 and 成 as phonetic. The scripture writes it with the radical 宀 as 宬; 宬 is that which a house contains, not used in this sense. The last character is pronounced with the fanqie 補 + 末 [bō]; it was already fully glossed and explained previously).
