XSZD Xuéshēng Zìdiǎn (學生字典) - Student's Dictionary
A wooden plank with a hole bored through the back. Set up in government offices for signaling. Sometimes made of bamboo tubes, with nodes at both ends and a small hole on the side. When struck, it sounds like what night watchmen use today, also called 梆子. In music, the Qin-style opera colloquially called 梆子腔 uses bamboo for rhythm, hence the name.
