About
As a phono-semantic compound, 秸 combines the semantic radical 禾 (grain/crop) on the left, which places it within the agricultural category, with the phonetic component 皆 (all) on the right. This character refers specifically to the dry stalks or straw of cereal plants, such as wheat, rice, or millet, that remain after the grain has been harvested. This byproduct is traditionally collected for uses like animal feed, thatching, or fuel.
