About

The word "三十" is formed through direct, logical combination of two basic numeric characters: "三" (sān), meaning three, and "十" (shí), meaning ten. It follows the inherent decimal structure of the Chinese numbering system, where the digit for the multiplier (three) is simply placed before the digit for the base unit (ten), resulting in the meaning "three tens", or thirty. This is a pure conceptual and visual fusion of quantity and place value.
