46.68

Merchant (賈人: gōng + hù fanqie; selling while sitting. The Zhouli says: 'Traveling merchants (𮚘) and stationary merchants (賈).' Zheng Xuan's commentary states: 'Those who travel are called 𮚘; those who dwell [in a shop] are called 賈.' The Baihu tong says: '賈 sounds like gù (固, hold fast); holding fast to goods and waiting for people to come in order to seek profit from them').
