棺 [guān] Meaning: 1. A vessel for laying to rest the dead. - Examples: 棺材 (coffin), 棺木 (wooden coffin), 棺椟 (coffin case), 棺椁 (tomb), 盖棺论定 (to make conclusions after death). Etymology: - The character "棺" consists of the radical "木" (wood) and the phonetic element "官" (official), indicating its connection to an object made of wood related to funerary practices. Historical References: 1. In "Shuo Wen Jie Zi": "棺" refers to the casket, used for covering the corpse. The "Book of Filial Piety" states: "A coffin serves as a receptacle for the corpse." 2. In "Bai Hu Tong": The term "棺" signifies completeness, thus serving to conceal the corpse entirely. 3. In "Gu Wen Kao": Historically, wooden coffins were used, while the Yu clan utilized tiled coffins. Examples of usage: - 棺材本 (fund for old-age care, metaphorically referring to the money for funerals) - 棺材座子 (the base of the coffin) - 棺尸 (the body in the coffin) - 棺衾 (the coffin and burial shroud; a general term for funeral items)
