The Chinese character 挡 (dǎng) is composed of two parts: the radical 扌(shǒu), which indicates that the character is related to hand or action, and the phonetic component 当 (dāng), which provides the pronunciation and additional meaning.The original meaning of 挡 is "to block" or "to obstruct". It can be used as a verb, meaning "to block, to obstruct, to resist", or as a noun, meaning "a barrier, an obstacle". For example, the sentence "他挡住了我的去路" means "He blocked my way".In addition to its literal meaning, 挡 can also be used in a figurative sense. For example, the sentence "他挡住了我的面子" means "He made me lose face".The character 挡 has a long history, dating back to the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600-1046 BC). It was originally written as 攴, which was a pictograph of a hand holding a shield. Over time, the character evolved into its current form.挡 is a common character in Chinese, and it is used in a variety of contexts.
