About

Composed of the bamboo radical and the phonetic element "巴", the character "笆" has historically denoted items constructed from bamboo, particularly woven fences or barriers, with its etymology pointing to early uses in reference to bamboo latticework. Through subsequent periods, its application expanded to include various bamboo-derived objects such as baskets and enclosures, while the semantic core of bamboo craftsmanship has persisted, and the character's structure and pronunciation have remained stable, even as it found place in compounds describing rustic or provisional installations.
