10.42

Army cooking-pot / gong (刁斗: the first character is [pronounced with the fanqie] niao + liao; the second character is [pronounced with the fanqie] dang + kou; Meng Kang's Hanshu commentary says: "It is made of bronze and holds one dou; by day it is used for cooking food, and by night it is beaten to alert the troops, being carried along with the army"; nowadays it has been changed into the metal zheng gong; the Gujin zhengzi says that dou has a handle, both being pictographic characters).
