About
乱 is the simplified form of 亂. The traditional character depicts two hands (爪 above, 又 below) attempting to organize tangled silk threads, with 乚 on the right. The simplified version replaces the intricate left-hand elements with 舌 (tongue) while retaining 乚. Originally referring to the act of untangling threads, the character's meaning broadened to signify disorder, chaos, rebellion, social upheaval, or mental confusion, the absence of proper order.
