50.6

𭛹帚 (The second character has the fanqie 周酉. The Shiben says: "Shaokang first made the winnowing basket and broom." Song Zhong says: "Shaokang was the son of the Xia sovereign Zu. The broom sweeps away dung." Shaokang is Dukang, buried at Changyuan. We note: a broom is that which is used to sweep and clean dung and filth. The Shuowen says: "Composed of 'hand' holding a cloth sweeping inside an enclosure (冂)." It is an ideographic compound character. In the treatise text it is written with 'bamboo' as 帚, which is an incorrect popular usage. 冂 has the fanqie 癸營).
