Did you know there are 218 Chinese radicals? Although that sounds like a lot, many of them have a very specific meaning and can be extremely useful when learning to read (and write) Chinese characters. Often, a radical will \u2018connect\u2019 all the characters<\/a> with that same radical, which helps you to remember them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For example, the <\/span>\u9485<\/span><\/a> radical is a derivation of the character for gold \u2018<\/span>\u91d1<\/span><\/a>\u2019 and is known as the metal radical. Because it appears on the left-side of the character, it is known as \u91d1\u5b57\u65c1<\/a> (j\u012bn z\u00ec p\u00e1ng) meaning ‘metal character on the side’. Many of the characters containing the metal radical are connected, if somewhat tenuously, to metal or metal related objects. Here\u2019s a little more information about \u91d1 and the metal radical:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u9485\/ \u91d1<\/a> (j\u012bn) gold \/ metal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u9485 is the <\/span>\u91d1<\/span><\/a> (j\u012bn) character on the side. The \u91d1 (j\u012bn) character represents a mine shaft, with the 2 <\/span>\u70b9<\/span><\/a> (di\u01cen) marks showing nuggets of gold under the ground <\/span>\u571f<\/span><\/a> (t\u01d4).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u91d1\u94b1<\/span><\/a> (j\u012bn qi\u00e1n) money \/ currency<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following characters all have the <\/span>\u9485<\/span><\/a> radical on the left-hand side and are all related in some way to metals:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u94f6 \/ \u9280<\/a> (y\u00edn) silver<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The character for silver combines the gold radical \u9485 with the character originally meaning \u2018only next to\u2019 <\/span>\u826e<\/span><\/a> (g\u011bn) (from <\/span>\u8ddf<\/span><\/a>(g\u0113n)), so that the meaning was \u2018just after gold\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u94f6\u884c<\/span><\/a> (y\u00edn h\u00e1ng) bank<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u94c5\/ \u925b<\/a> (qi\u0101n) lead<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The right-hand side of the character was originally \u3563 meaning \u2018a marsh at the bottom of a hill.\u2019 Perhaps this relates to lead resources. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u94c5\u7b14<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>qi\u0101n<\/span> b\u01d0)<\/span> pencil<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u94dc \/ \u9285<\/a> (t\u00f3ng) copper <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The right-hand side of the character provides the pronunciation of the character, whilst the left radical provides the \u2018metal\u2019 meaning. The right-hand side \u540c means \u2018same\u2019 and as copper and gold are a similar colour the meaning can be \u2018the same as gold\u2019. Also, in ancient China, copper was referred to as <\/span>\u8d64\u91d1<\/span><\/a> (ch\u00ec j\u012bn) \u2018red gold. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u94dc\u677f<\/span><\/a> (t\u00f3ng b\u01cen) coin<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u94b1 \/ \u9322<\/a> (qi\u00e1n) money<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The original character has 2 spears \u6208 <\/span>\u6208<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>g\u0113)<\/span> on the right-hand side, that also represented power. The idea behind the character for money is that the \u2018spear\u2019 is breaking the \u2018gold\u2019 represented by the metal radical on the left. During certain periods of Chinese history, <\/span>\u620b also meant \u2018farm tools\u2019, and before currency was used as a medium of exchange. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u82b1\u94b1<\/span><\/a> (hu\u0101 qi\u00e1n) to spend money<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u9488 \/  \u91dd<\/a> (zh\u0113n) needle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This character was originally made up of the \u2018gold\u2019 radial with the character \u2018to bite\u2019. It was changed to include the \u5341 particle to suggest a threaded needle. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u6253\u9488<\/span><\/a> (d\u01ce zh\u0113n) to get an injection<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u9489 \/ \u91d8<\/a> (d\u012bng) nail<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Originally, the word nail was just a pictograph, <\/span>\u4e01<\/span><\/a> (d\u012bng), but the gold radical \u91d1 was added later for clarification of meaning. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u9489\u5b50<\/span><\/a> (d\u012bng zi) nail<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u87ba\u9489<\/span><\/a> (lu\u00f3 d\u012bng) screw<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally,  <\/span>\u9418<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>zh\u014dng)<\/span> (<\/span>\u7a5c<\/span><\/a> (t\u00f3ng)\/ <\/span>\u79cd<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>zh\u00f2ng))<\/span> was the character to describe the bell rang during the autumn harvest. The bell would dictate a specific time of day. <\/span>\u4e2d<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>zh\u014dng)<\/span> also has a similar pronunciation to \u79cd, so when characters were simplified, \u4e2d was used instead of <\/span>\u7ae5<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>t\u00f3ng)<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u949f\u8868<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>zh\u014dng<\/span> bi\u01ceo)<\/span> clocks and watches<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The gold radical suggests the meaning, and the right side, <\/span>\u5931<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>sh\u012b<\/span>) dictates the pronunciation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right side of the \u9501 (<\/span>su\u01d2)<\/span> character includes <\/span>\u8d1d<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>b\u00e8i<\/span>) meaning \u2018shell\u2019 although in ancient China, shells were used as currency.

This is an interesting character to include the metal radical. Originally, <\/span> \u9519 was the name of a decorative craft, which was inlaying gold or silver onto the surface of bronze ware. One of the stories about how \u9519 became to mean \u2018mistake\u2019, was that as gold and silver was much more expensive than copper, the idea of adding gold and silver to copper was nonsensical or \u2018incorrect\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
