About
The character 苏, in its traditional form 蘇, combines the grass radical 艹 with 魚 (fish) and 禾 (grain) below. Originally denoting a fragrant herb like perilla, it later acquired meanings of revival or awakening. The simplified form 苏 retains the grass radical but replaces the lower elements with the phonetic component 办. It is also commonly used as an abbreviation for the Soviet Union or Jiangsu Province.
