About
The character '鸾' originates from its traditional form '鸞', which integrates the semantic radical '鸟' denoting a bird with the phonetic component '䜌' providing the sound 'luán', and it has historically referred to a mythical bird often paralleled with the phoenix, serving as a symbol of nobility and auspiciousness in literary and cultural contexts. While its core meaning has persisted as a designation for this legendary creature, the character's usage expanded in classical poetry and prose to convey notions of elegance and harmonious partnership, as seen in compounds like '鸾凤' representing marital unity. Structurally, the traditional '鸞' employs the intricate phonetic '䜌', whereas the form '鸾' adapts this to the component '亦', yet both iterations maintain the defining bird radical that anchors the character's semantic domain.
