Character Story & Explanation
枨 (chéng) refers to a door post or a wooden peg used in ancient Chinese architecture to secure doors. Unlike Western door jambs that are purely functional, 枨 also appears in classical texts as a symbol of stability and threshold. It is rarely used in modern Chinese, mostly found in historical or literary contexts.
