About
As a phono-semantic compound, 汕 combines the water radical 氵 on the left, which indicates a meaning related to water or liquids, with the component 山 (mountain) on the right, which primarily provides the pronunciation. Historically, it referred to a method of fishing using a bamboo trap or net set in a current, though this sense is now largely obsolete. Today, 汕 is chiefly recognized as part of the place name Shantou, a major coastal city and economic center in Guangdong province.
