How to Write 沣 (fēng) — Meaning “Feng (name of a river)”

Picture a river (氵) that is "abundant" or full (丰) of water. The right side 丰 looks like a tree with many branches, suggesting plenty of water flowing. This visual link helps you recall that 沣 is a river name.

First write the three dots of the water radical from left to right. Then write the right side 丰: a horizontal stroke, then a second longer horizontal, then a vertical stroke through them, and finally a third shorter horizontal. Keep the water dots aligned vertically and the middle horizontal on the right longest.

沣 has a water radical with 丰 and means the Feng River. 㳄 is a rare or archaic character (often a variant) and is not used in modern Chinese. 氿 (guǐ) has a water radical with 九 and refers to a spring or another water name. Their pronunciations and meanings are distinct.

沣 appears mainly in place names, such as the Feng River (沣河) in Shaanxi Province or Fengdong (沣东) district. It is not a common character in daily speech but is important for understanding Chinese geography and history. You may encounter it in travel guides or historical texts.

Common words containing 沣 include: 沣河 (fēng hé) — Feng River; 沣水 (fēng shuǐ) — Feng River; 沣东 (fēng dōng) — Fengdong (a place name).
