About
The character 链, simplified from the traditional 鏈, is a phono-semantic compound. The radical 钅 on the left indicates a semantic connection to metal, while the component 连 on the right contributes both the sound and the meaning of "to connect". Its core definition is a chain, a series of interlinked metal rings forming a strong, flexible object for binding or pulling. From this physical concept, the character extends to describe abstract sequences of connected items, such as a supply chain, a chain of events, or a digital hyperlink.
