Tips
usage
殡 is read bìn (fourth tone) and appears in 出殡 (to carry the coffin out for burial) and 殡仪馆 (funeral home). It refers to the period and rites between death and burial.
The death-and-bones radical, originally a picture of decayed remains. Funeral rites deal directly with the dead, so this radical anchors 殡's meaning, as it does in 死 and 殇.
Supplies the sound; standalone 宾 is bīn, here bìn. The guest meaning gives a subtle hint, treating the deceased as an honored guest being seen off, but it functions mainly as the reading.
