About
Constructed from the radical 缶, which signifies earthenware, and the phonetic element 雚, the character 罐 originally designated clay-based jars or pots, with its composition directly linking form to function. Over time, its application broadened to encompass a wider range of containers used for storage, including those made from other materials, yet the essential concept of a vessel remained central to its meaning, and its written form has persisted without significant alteration.
