Character Story & Explanation
扡 (chǐ) means 'drag along' or 'pull'. It is a rare character, often used in classical texts. The radical is 扌 (hand), indicating an action. Unlike the common 拖 (tuō, 'drag'), 扡 emphasizes a lighter or hesitant pulling. Knowing it enriches understanding of nuanced actions in Chinese.
