          [+FIG/LITERAL]

          1. The general word for tying things together into a bundle is shù 束 (ant. jiě 解 "untie"), and the word generally refers to the tying of things together in a bundle-like manner and not to the tying up of humans.

          [CONCRETE]

          2. Fú 縛 (ant. jiě 解 "untie") is primarily to tie up a person with a rope to restrict his freedom of movement, but ther word can also, by extension, be used to refer to tying up things.

          [CONCRETE]

          3. Guàn 貫 is to string things together as in a string of cash in the traditional Chinese style, but the word is also used in transferred senses.

          [SPECIFIC], [+FIG]

          4. Wéi 維 refers - often in an abstract way - to the tying together or connecting of things.

          [ABSTRACT!]

            1. She1n 申 is too rare in this meaning to suffer analysis, and the word does seem to be metaphorical in sense in the difficult example presented.
