About
浆 (jiāng) is a phono-semantic compound with the water radical 水 at the bottom, providing the meaning of a liquid, and 将 on top, indicating the sound. It is the simplified form of 漿, which uses the traditional phonetic 將 above the same water radical. The character refers to thick, viscous, or starchy liquids, unlike clear, free-flowing water, and covers a range of semi-liquid substances encountered in daily life, including edible items like broths, fruit syrups, and soy milk, as well as inedible ones such as laundry starch paste, wet cement, and blood plasma.
