厂 chǎng factory
How it came to be
An overhanging rock seen from the side: the ledge along the top, and the face dropping away beneath it. Everything the character puts underneath is standing in that shelter, or being cut out of it.
用法
- 'Factory, workshop' - 工厂 (gōngchǎng) factory, 厂家 (chǎngjiā) manufacturer, 厂商 (chǎngshāng) firm/vendor.
- 出厂 (chūchǎng) = to leave the factory: 出厂价 (chūchǎngjià) factory/wholesale price.
- As a radical 厂 means 'cliff' (read hǎn), but as a standalone word it's chǎng, factory.
