About
篾 combines bamboo 竹 with the component 蔑, which contains 罒 representing a net or framework, to depict thin bamboo strips woven into a lattice. It denotes the narrow splints or peels of bamboo used in basketry, furniture, and other traditional crafts. The meaning is strictly concrete, tied entirely to this material and its utilitarian applications, with no abstract or metaphorical extensions.
