About
The simplified character 孙 pairs 子 (child) with 小 (small), suggesting a grandchild is a small child directly continuing the family line. The traditional form 孫 combines 子 with the silk thread radical 系 to emphasize the unbroken thread of lineage. While its core meaning is grandchild, the character also broadly denotes later generations and lineage branches, anchoring the concept of genealogical continuity.
