About

秸 is a phono-semantic compound, combining the semantic radical 禾 (grain) on the left and the phonetic component 吉 (jí) on the right. It is the simplified form of 稭, which used 皆 (meaning 'all') as its phonetic. The character refers to the dry stalks of cereal plants, such as wheat, rice, corn, or millet, that remain after the grain has been threshed and removed. These stalks are traditionally collected and used as animal fodder, thatching material for roofs, and fuel for heating and cooking.
