roddy Posted April 7, 2006 at 02:57 AM Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 at 02:57 AM According to this page, jí or jiè. However, Wenlin says ji1, meaning a sacred imperial field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted April 7, 2006 at 02:59 AM Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 at 02:59 AM Actually 耤 is not difficult.

roddy Posted April 7, 2006 at 03:04 AM Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 at 03:04 AM Baidu 1: Google 0 巨雷的原型应当是藉车，见于《墨子•备城门》。藉车外部包铁，一部分埋在地下，是能够投射炭火的机器，由多人操纵用来防备敌方的攻城队。用现代的观点来看，藉车应当是守城用的炮台。墨子的军火可以武装一个城的军队了。 source, there are quite a lot of results on baidu.com (compared to Google at least)PS And I expect to see photos when you've finished building it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liang Jieming Posted April 7, 2006 at 07:56 AM Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 at 07:56 AM Wow. Thanks! So it is a Ji (or Jie) Che! ie. Plough Cart. Interesting. This term comes the 守法守令十三篇, a Han era manual on siege warfare and it apparently came in two different sizes, high and small, placed at intervals of 200bu to 50bu on top of defensive walls and had a range of 50bu and crewed by 5 men and 3 men respectively. Ok, time to update my writings. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
