Thank you Jade for your photos of various stands with terms in both languages.  They take me outdoor deep into the woods without leaving the house.  Very interesting and educational!  Regards,  Peter

Dear Peter, apart from giving a serial number to the stands, we also named the stands according to its location and condition. At the end of the recovery process, every stand has its own story behind.

Thanks Jade.  I look forward to reading about them.  躉 is not in my limited inventory.  I could not look it up using Google translation in either direction.  But it makes sense after I took a closer look, as the top part appears to say ten thousand, and the bottom half is sturdy or firm.   Regards,  Peter

Ha ha, it is an older expression of stand.
