Tips

register
Rare and literary. means 'to be exhausted or used up to nothing' (as in 罄竹难书, 'so many crimes that even all the bamboo strips couldn't record them'). Combined with ('body'), the result is 'a body with nothing left on it'. Modern speakers say 赤身 or 赤裸 instead.
mistakes
Don't confuse ('exhausted') with the visually similar ('fragrant') or ('stone chime').
