Definition
渠 primarily means an artificial water channel, like a canal or ditch, used for irrigation or drainage. In modern Chinese this is its common meaning. It also appears in classical texts as a pronoun meaning 'he' or 'she', and as an adjective meaning 'big' or 'chief', but those uses are rare in everyday speech.
