About
The character 乱, traditionally written as 亂, is a phono-semantic compound. Its traditional form depicts a hand untangling tangled silk threads on a frame, with the component 乙 on the right. The simplified form replaces the complex left side with 舌 (tongue) while retaining the right-side component 乚. Its core meaning is a state of disorder or chaos, extending from physical tangling to social rebellion, mental confusion, and the general absence of order.
