Étymologie et composants

The Chinese character 元 (yuán) has a rich history and etymology. It is composed of two parts: the radical 兀 (wù), which means "to stand alone," and the phonetic component 兀 (wù), which is a simplified form of the character 勿 (wù), meaning "not." Together, these components create the character 元, which originally meant "the beginning" or "the source."Over time, the meaning of 元 has expanded to include a variety of other concepts, including "first," "primary," "important," and "great." It is also used as a unit of currency, a dynasty name, and a unit of time.In terms of its pronunciation, 元 is pronounced "yuán" in Mandarin Chinese. The character is also pronounced "ngun" in Cantonese and "ngiên" in Vietnamese.The character 元 is an important part of Chinese culture and history, and it continues to be used in a variety of contexts today.
