斟一杓 [Pouring a ladleful] (The upper character is zhāng plus lín fanqie. The Shuowen states: "Zhēn means to pour and measure; it derives from 斗 [dipper] with 甚 as phonetic." The lower character is cháng plus ruò fanqie. The Wenzidian shuo states: "A wooden vessel with a handle." The Kaosheng states: "The cups and ladles of today." The Shuowen writes it as 勺; nowadays following convention it is written with the wood radical as 杓, a commonly used character).
