About
The character "岚" is a relatively late formation in the Chinese writing system, constructed from the semantic component "山" meaning mountain and the phonetic component "风" meaning wind, which also contributes semantically to the concept. Its etymology is transparent, directly depicting the phenomenon of mountain mist or haze, a meaning it has consistently held since its adoption. This character did not evolve from a more complex ancient form through a process of simplification; rather, it represents an efficient and logical creation that combines two existing radicals to express a specific natural idea, and its usage has remained stable in denoting this atmospheric condition in mountainous landscapes.
