Chinese (Mandarin)/Traditional/Radicals

偏旁，又稱部首，是合體字的結構單位。早先把合體字的左邊稱「偏」，右邊稱「旁」；後來把合體字的結構部分統稱為「偏旁」。例如位於合體字的左面，稱為「左偏旁」；右面，則稱為「右偏旁」。English translation: A *pianpang*—also known as a *bushou* (radical)—is a structural component of a compound Chinese character. Originally, the left side of such a character was called *pian* and the right side *pang*; later, these structural parts came to be collectively referred to as *pianpang*. For instance, a component located on the left side is called a "left *pianpang*," while one on the right is called a "right *pianpang*." The word for radical in Chinese is 部首. This term is often conflated with 偏旁 (piānpáng), or simply 旁 (páng). A radical, or component of a character, usually indicates its meaning. 水 (shuǐ; water) with a 冫 becomes 冰 (bīng, ice). The 冫 hints that the character pertains to ice, like the "glaci-" in glacier. Radicals may also be used to differentiate characters that sound alike. 東 (dōng; east, owner) with a 冫 becomes 凍 (dòng; to freeze, jelly). Radicals, like characters, sometimes suggest their meaning by their appearance, for example, the 亻 in 他 (tā; him) is a compressed 人, and the 氵 in 江 (jiāng; river) looks like three water droplets. Radicals reduce the amount of memorization needed, be it for the language's ancient inventors or for you. In Chinese, the large number of homophones and rhyming words make this scheme possible. A character can have multiple radicals, for example, 捌 (bā; eight, see Numbers). Traditionally, the left part of composite characters was referred to as “piān” and the right side referred to as “páng.” Now, all parts of compound characters are generally referred to as “piānpáng.” For example, the left part of a compound character is referred to as 左偏旁 (zuǒ piānpáng), and the right side as 右偏旁 (yòu piānpáng). Names of Radicals 中文偏旁的名稱 The radicals, strokes, and Chinese character components found in Chinese characters often have different names in the different dialects of Chinese. For Standard Mandarin Chinese in Mainland China, one of the most authoritative listings of the names of Chinese character components is found in Specification of Common Modern Chinese Character Components and Component Names (現代漢語常用字部件及部件名稱規範). In addition, the appendices of Xiandai Hanyu Cidian (現代漢語詞典) and Xiandai Hanyu Guifan Cidian (現代漢語規範詞典) include lists of some of the frequently occurring radicals and other components.
