寶（宝）：宀＋玉＋缶＋贝。Treasure：宀（houses）＋jade+a crock with a narrow opening+cowry

“宀”，指的是有较高大的房屋，也指的是经济上较为宽裕的“家”。“寶”包含下述重要内容：一是家中有较高大的房屋，保证家庭人口住宿在卫生、健康、舒适的环境中，并且使人口不断繁衍生息。二是家中有“玉”，三是家中有贝（钱），四是家中还有“缶”。

The term refers to a larger house or a more affluent home. "Bao" contains the following important contents: first, the family has a larger house to ensure that the family population stays in a hygienic, healthy and comfortable environment, and that the population continues to multiply. There are jade at home, shellfish at home and Fou at home.

缶在科技如此发达的今天已经属于低等的用具，但是，在古代，缶却是人类生活须臾不能离开的生活必需品，它是贮藏粮食、水的良好用具。人们7天不吃饭可以存活下来，但是，不喝水却只能够存活3天时间。要保证人有水喝，就必须有存水的用具。

Fou is an inferior appliance in the development of science and technology today, but in ancient times, Fou is the necessities of life that human beings can't leave for a moment. It is a good appliance for storing food and water. People can survive 7 days without eating, but only 3 days without drinking water. In order for the guarantor to have water to drink, he must have utensils for storing water.

大家知道，能够存水的用具，可以有木桶、金属做的桶，还有陶土做的缶。而陶土烧制的缶，可以有大的陶土水缸，也有陶土烧制的碗、钵等用具。但是，木制品一是比较价格贵，而且也容易腐烂、变形，盛水效果差；金属制作的盛水用具，一是价格太昂贵，二是也容易锈蚀，同时也易使水体变质。因此，盛水最好的用具莫过于陶土烧制的“缶”，一是价格是上述几种里的最便宜者，二是制造过程相对容易，制作批量大，且盛放水也较不易变质。因此，缶也就成为家庭里的宝了。

As you know, there can be wooden buckets, metal buckets, and clay fou for storing water. And clay-fired fou, can have large clay water tanks, but also clay fired bowls, bowls and other utensils. However, wood products are relatively expensive, and are prone to decay, deformation, and poor effect of holding water; metal water holding utensils, one is too expensive, the other is also prone to rust, but also prone to water deterioration. Therefore, the best equipment for holding water is the "Fou" fired from clay. One is that the price is the cheapest of the above mentioned ones, the other is that the manufacturing process is relatively easy, the production quantity is large, and the water is not easy to deteriorate. Cause Thus, Fou has become a treasure in the family.

这四样东西合在一起就是“寶”，这就是寶字的完整含义。而“贝”是这四样“宝”中最为灵活的财宝，有了钱就可以买玉、买缶、可以花钱建造住房。而钱从哪里来呢？从田里来，有劳动力加上有田地，就可以创造出钱财来的。

These four things together are "treasure", which is the complete meaning of the word "Bao". "Bay" is the four most flexible treasure, with money can buy jade, buy Fou, can spend money to build housing. And where does the money come from? Money can be created from fields, with labor and fields.

赋：贝+武。bestow on：cowry+military

“赋”，本义：靠武力取得的钱。

赋税和徭役都是古代中国封建社会统治者加给普通百姓的一种负担。赋税指的是一种用钱 体现出来的交给朝廷的一种货币负担。徭役是普通老百姓要给封建统治者承担一定时期、一定数额的义务劳动量。徭和役是两回事。徭字：彳+爫+缶。指的是百姓要为朝廷去做像制造缶这样的陶具，推而广之，徭字是指修桥、修路或者是修皇宫以及治水等义务劳动。

Taxes and corvee are a burden imposed on ordinary people by the rulers of feudal society in ancient China. Tax is a kind of monetary burden which is embodied by money.

By extension, the word taxes refers to voluntary labor such as bridge building, road building or imperial palace building and water control.

役：彳+殳。Labour：彳+an ancient weapon made of bamboo

殳字是手里拿着东西或者兵器的样子；彳是路途中的意思。整个役字是指到边疆或者是一些地方兵站去守卫国家。但后来也把百姓服劳役也算在役的里面了。

不论是赋税还是徭役，都是统治者依靠武力强迫百姓而取得的。封建社会里相当一些历史时期里，繁重的赋税和徭役使老百姓不堪其苦 ，因为沉重的赋税和徭役而导致大量老百姓死亡，甚至激起民变和农民起义的事件层出不穷。在中国封建社会的历史中，东西汉还有唐朝贞观以前的赋税和徭役是比较轻的。如东西汉，国家对农民的税收只有三十分之一，一有灾荒年景，朝廷还常常减免税收。西汉“文景之治”时期，是我国农民赋税和徭役最轻的时期，也是社会比较安定的盛世。不过在历史长河中，封建社会中的绝大 多数时间，对农民的赋税和徭役都是比较沉重的。

In some historical periods of feudal society, the heavy taxes and corvee made the common people suffer, and the heavy taxes and corvee led to the death of a large number of people, and even incited the people's revolt and peasant uprisings in endlessly. In the history of Chinese feudal society, taxes and corvee before the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty were relatively light. As the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty, the state tax on farmers only 1/30, a famine, the court often reduced taxes. In the Western Han Dynasty, the period of "the government of literature and scenery" was the lightest time for the peasants to pay taxes and corvee in our country. Period, is also a relatively stable and prosperous society. However, in the long history, most of the time in feudal society, taxes and corvee to farmers are relatively heavy.

“赋”字本义：靠武力取得的钱。引申后，“赋”字，指的是：政府对百姓收取的财税。

The original meaning of "Fu": money obtained by force. After extension, the word "Fu" refers to the government's collection of taxes on the people.

后来也把赋诗、歌赋也用了赋字，那是指的百姓为官府衙门唱歌、做诗词歌赋、舞蹈等文艺活动，也像给官府衙门缴纳赋税一样，也是一种有价值的缴纳给那些官僚们。

Later, the poems and songs were also written in Fu, which means that the common people sing songs, perform poems, dance and other literary and artistic activities for the government offices. It is also a valuable payment to the bureaucrats, just like paying taxes to the government offices.
