Rice stalks (稻𦼮: the first character is [pronounced] 徒皓 [dào]; the Qieyun says: "Non-glutinous rice and glutinous rice." The Book of Rites says: "Fine dào rice is called shū." The Bencao says: "Jīng rice primarily supplements qi and stops restlessness and diarrhea; dào rice primarily warms the interior and causes one to have much heat"; this makes clear that these are two different things. The Shuowen says: "The state of Pei calls dào 'nuò'." The Zilin says: "Dào rice is sticky; jīng rice is not sticky." The second character is [pronounced] 古案 [gàn]; the Zishu says: "Stalk or stem").
