Tattered rags (襤縷: the first character has the fanqie 臘 + 躭. Kong [Anguo's] commentary on the Analects says: "Lán means quilted hemp wadding." Zheng [Xuan's] commentary on the Book of Rites says that quilted wadding is also floss silk; it also says it means old hemp refuse. The Shuowen jiezi writes it as 縕, taking 絲 as semantic classifier and 昷 as phonetic component; 昷 is pronounced wēn. The second character has the fanqie 龍 + 女. The Shuowen jiezi says: "Lǚ means patterned silk ribbon." It takes 糸 as semantic classifier and 婁 as phonetic component; 婁 is pronounced lóu).
