湘 🔊

网络内容摘要 (Web Content Summary):

核心含义与起源：“湘”字是一个形声字，左边是“水”表示与水有关，右边是“相”表音，读作xiāng。其本义是指“湘江”，即中国湖南省著名的大河。 Core meaning & origin: The character "湘" (xiāng) is a phono-semantic compound: the left part “水”/water shows its relation to water, and the right part “相” gives the pronunciation. Its original meaning refers to the Xiang River, a major river in China’s Hunan province.

文化背景：湘江作为“湘”字的本义，是湖南的重要象征，所以“湘”也常用来指湖南省或湖南文化，如“湘菜”（湖南菜肴）、“三湘四水”（指湖南地区）。 Cultural background: The Xiang River is an important symbol of Hunan, so "湘" is often used to represent Hunan province or its culture, as in terms like “湘菜” (Hunan cuisine) and phrases like “三湘四水” ("the three Xiangs and four waters" — referring to Hunan).

• 常用词：湘江、湘菜、湘水、湖南湘人。 Common words: Xiangjiang (Xiang River), Xiangcai (Hunan cuisine), Xiangshui (another name for the river), Hunanese (people from Hunan, often called “Xiang people”).
• 易混淆点：“湘”常因与“江”、“湖”等带水字旁的地名混淆，但它特指“湘江”及相关湖南事物。 Easily confused: "湘" may be confused with other water-related characters like “江” (river), “湖” (lake), but it specifically refers to the Xiang River and things related to Hunan.
