Character Story & Explanation
塓 (mì) is a rare character meaning 'to plaster'—to coat walls with mud or cement. Composed of 土 (earth) and 冥 (dark, obscure), it evokes the ancient practice of smoothing muddy surfaces, hiding imperfections beneath a uniform layer. Archaeologically, such plastering was essential in early Chinese architecture for creating clean, durable walls.
