A tree name. Four to five zhang tall. Arrow-shaped leaves. Fruit has a burr covered in thorns like hedgehog spines. Each burr may contain one, two, three, or four nuts. Kernels are pale yellow, edible. The wood is solid and compact, usable for implements or firewood and charcoal. A variety with small single-kernel nuts is the original chestnut species, anciently called 芧栗, corrupted to 茅栗, colloquially called 橡栗 because it resembles acorns. | Reverent. Fearful. From "Analerta": "Making the people tremble with awe." | Solid. Chestnut wood is extremely hard. Hence solid and dense things are called 縝栗.
