About
The character 稆 (lǘ) denotes wild grain that grows without cultivation. It is the simplified form of the traditional character 穭. Both forms share the semantic radical 禾 on the left, signifying their connection to grain or agriculture. In the simplified character, the right side is the phonetic component 吕, which replaced the more complex phonetic 魯 used in the traditional version. This simplification streamlined the character's structure while preserving its original pronunciation and meaning of self-sown crops.
