About
浆 (jiāng) is a phono-semantic compound with the water radical 水 (shuǐ) at the bottom, indicating its liquid nature, and the phonetic component 将 (jiāng) above. Its traditional form, 漿, maintains this structure with the traditional phonetic 將 (jiāng). The character refers to thick, viscous, or starchy liquids, distinguishing them from thin, watery ones. It encompasses a broad range of semi-liquid substances in daily life, including edible ones like hearty broths, fruit syrups, and soy milk, as well as non-edible materials such as laundry starch paste, wet cement, and the plasma in blood.
