About

The word 嘲笑 is formed by conceptually combining two actions: 嘲 (cháo), which means to ridicule or mock, and 笑 (xiào), which means to laugh or smile. It visually and notionally fuses the idea of directing laughter at someone, where the laughter itself becomes the vehicle for the mockery, creating a single, integrated concept of scornful or derisive laughter.
