字紙即係寫過字嘅紙,以前中國文化認為文字係值得尊敬,字紙唔可以隨便丟棄踐踏或用嚟抹污糟嘢,要火化處理,因此設簍專門收集
basket for wastepaper with characters written on it; ancient Chinese culture thinks characters is a spiritual substance that should be respected, so papers with characters should not be dumped or stepped on leisurely or be used to clean dirt. Instead, they should be burnt as a tribute, and thus were stored in separate basket.
