About
The Chinese character 洛 is a phonetic-semantic compound, formed by the water radical 氵 on the left and the phonetic component 各 on the right. It was originally created to name the Luo River, a major tributary of the Yellow River in Shaanxi and Henan. Its usage later expanded to denote the historically important city of Luoyang, which served as the capital for several dynasties. This structure directly links a water body with its phonetic identifier, connecting the character semantically to rivers and settlements.
