<< review queue entry 76736 - submitted by 'kbaiko' >> 气 is a character with a lot of meanings - it can mean gas (煤气), air (气压), breath (喘气), weather (天气), smell (臭气), anger (生气), to anger or to get angry (气死), fate or destiny (运气, 福气), the spirit (气昂昂), etc 炁 though seems to only be used as yet another sense of 气, that of Qi (sometimes written Chi), or vital force. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qi. It's also used in TCM, for example, 坎炁 which was submitted here https://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php?log_id=83138&popup=1&handler=ViewLogEntry My corpus, which actually has a lot of text from the Chinese fantasy genre, has tons of terms like 元炁, 源炁, 真炁, 内炁, 炼炁, etc which suggests the Qi/vital force sense to me. |
