About
The traditional form 蘆 is a phono-semantic compound with the grass radical 艹 (cǎo) on top, providing the semantic category of herbaceous plants, and the phonetic component 盧 (lú) below. In the simplified character 芦, the complex phonetic element is replaced by the simpler character 户 (hù). This character specifically refers to reeds and similar tall aquatic grasses growing in wetlands and along riverbanks. Historically, the entire plant has been harvested for weaving mats, thatching roofs, and making paper.
