「Tree」with「long history, stops time」that「dies hard」is apparently a WHITE OAK tree, providing hard and strong wood after it dies that is also easy to split along the wood grain, and was used to build STABLES and barns. Being one of the hardest woods, cutting one down is difficult, perhaps contributing to the「dies hard」meaning. Also a「tree difficult to eradicate」(as is hemp, perhaps the original internal elements) because white oak species are pollinated primarily by wind and not insects, enabling widespread natural propagation as well as interspecific hybridization that produces fertile seeds in the case of the white oak:
　「Hybridization and introgression of new genetic material can lead to the replacement of local genotypes if the hybrids are more fit and have breeding advantages over the indigenous ecotype or species.」
　　[　https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_%28biology%29 2012-12-04　]　
　「Interspecific hybridization is quite common among oaks…and most common in the white oak group…. Recent systematic studies appear to confirm a high tendency of [white oak] species to hybridize because of a combination of factors.」

　As the glyph depicts, white oaks「die hard.」Also meaning ANIMAL FODDER that was kept in the stables, likely referring to white oak acorns that are much less astringent than red oak acorns. This glyph was often substituted with another meaning「horse chestnut」due to many similarities in meanings, although the two glyphs refer to different plant species.
　Alternatively, as seen in the related glyph meaning ANIMAL FODDER that uses elements of two「no-longer-integrated feet with glans inside」this glyph may also refer to the process of creating living human stock for use in harems of the lords and wealthy class as its FODDER (of meat in this case),「woody with the foot-dis-integrating process」in STABLES, MEAT HOUSES.
　As a TROUGH FOR HORSES, these elements convey a strong double meaning: wild horses masturbate on average about once every ninety minutes or so (see 馬), and a trough is a long, narrow, open receptacle used chiefly to hold fluids for animals similar to the slits in no-longer-integrated feet of Chinese service providers used by clients for masturbation. So,「woody with hand around two stalk tips with seeds and foot dis-integrating procedure」also described HORSE TROUGHS, otherwise understood to be both no-longer-integrated feet with two clients coming at will to indulge themselves and their HARD WOOD, WHITENED OAK.
　Without a doubt, the Irish also have knowledge of their own to pass along in these trying times:「Masturbation will not spread coronavirus, especially if you wash your hands (and any sex toys) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after.」Nonetheless and regrettably, unlike in dynastic China, it must be undertaken alone to truly be a preventative countermeasure but still achieve the desired result with some degree of safety.

　The Dutch, too have the same solution—it seems masturbation has become mainstream in the media the world over due to the coronavirus (it has always been 'the main stream' in reality, albeit covertly for most folks):
　「'Don't have sex with your partner if they have been isolated because of (suspected) coronavirus infection,' the RVIM says. 'Sex with yourself or with others at a distance is possible (think of telling erotic stories, masturbating together).'」

　Needless to point out perhaps, but Chinese shamans from antiquity hit upon the same solution as a pandemic preventative countermeasure, honed for ultimate client satisfaction by utilizing naked females with no-longer-integrated feet as masturbatory sex buddies available for short-term rental with erotic visualization of live prepubescent female genitalia engaging in autoerotic stimulation herself, as a solution to the same problem facing us now, but in pre-Internet days.
