Walls (牆壁: the first character, jing [淨] + yang [陽] fan; also written as 廧. Gu Yewang says: “A wall or enclosure.” The Zishu says: “Rammed earth is called 牆; woven bamboo and wood smeared with mud is called 壁.” The Shuowen says it is formed from 嗇 with 爿 phonetic; 嗇 has the sound se [色], 爿 has the sound jiang [匠] + yang [陽] fan. In the sūtra written with earth [土] as 墻, which is incorrect. The second character, bei [卑] + mi [覓] fan. Du's commentary to the Zuozhuan says: “A wall or parapet.” The Zishu says: “What is exposed outside is called a 牆; what is inside a room is called a 壁; both are walls.” The Shuowen writes it as 廦, formed from shelter [广] with 辟 phonetic; 广 has the sound yan [儼]).
