How it is used
- Two readings. huá = clamor/uproar - 喧哗 (xuānhuá) hubbub, 哗然 (huárán) an uproar of reaction, 哗众取宠 (huázhòng-qǔchǒng) to play to the crowd for applause.
- huā = the sound of rushing/gushing - 雨哗哗地下 (yǔ huāhuā de xià) rain pouring down noisily, 哗啦 a crash/splash.
- So huá = crowd noise/clamor; huā = the swoosh of water and rushing sounds.
