蒹 [jiān] 1. 没有长穗的芦苇。 - Earless reed. 2. 没有长穗的芦苇：～葭倚玉树（喻两人的品貌极不相称）。 - Earless reed: "Reeds leaning against a jade tree" (used to metaphorically describe an extreme mismatch between two people's appearances or qualities). 3. 初生的芦苇 (【英】: earless reed)。 - Young reeds (English: earless reed). - Example: 蒹葭 (蒹: 未曾秀穗的芦荻; 葭: 初生的芦苇。两者都是常见的贱值水草) - Example: "Reeds" (蒹: reeds without flower spikes; 葭: young reeds, both are common low-value aquatic plants). 4. 蒹葭倚玉 (因为芦苇与玉树贵贱悬殊, 后用以比喻人与人对比不相称) - "Reeds leaning against a jade tree" (because the reeds and jade trees represent a stark contrast in value, later used to metaphorically compare people's mismatched qualities).
