About
The character 赵 (traditional: 趙) is a phono-semantic compound. Its simplified form combines the semantic "walk" or "run" radical 走 (zǒu) with the phonetic component 肖 (xiào); the traditional form uses 兆 (zhào) as the phonetic element. Originally, 赵 meant to move swiftly or hasten. This meaning of rapid movement is now obsolete. The character is predominantly known as a proper noun: it was the name of a major state during the Warring States period and later became one of the most common and historically significant Chinese surnames.
