Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *njen) : phonetic 肰 (OC *njen, “dog meat”) + semantic 火 (“fire”) – to burn. Also ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意) . The derivative 燃 (OC *njen) stands for the original word in Modern Chinese.
Note that the upper left component is analyzed as 肉 (meat), and in the component 肰 it is drawn as a tilted 月 (“moon”), appearing more like 夕 (“evening”) with an extra stroke (𱼀); compare 祭, 將.
Etymology
[edit]A fusion of 如 (OC *nja, *njas) with an element *-n which has a demonstrative meaning (Schuessler, 2007).

Definitions
[edit]然
- † Original form of 燃 (rán, “to burn”).
- 凡有四端於我者,知皆擴而充之矣,若火之始然,泉之始達。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: Mencius, c. 4th century BCE
- Fán yǒu sìduān yú wǒ zhě, zhī jiē kuò ér chōng zhī yǐ, ruò huǒ zhī shǐ rán, quán zhī shǐ dá. [Pinyin]
- Since all men have these four principles in themselves, let them know to give them all their development and completion, and the issue will be like that of fire which has begun to burn, or that of a spring which has begun to find vent.
凡有四端于我者,知皆扩而充之矣,若火之始然,泉之始达。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
- † a demonstrative that refers to a previous verbal clause
- Near-synonym: 是 (shì)
- † so; thus; in this manner; like this
- 然後/然后 ― ránhòu ― then (literally, “after things turn out this way”)
- 不然 ― bùrán ― or else, otherwise (literally, “not so”)
- 非然也。 [Classical Chinese] ― Fēi rán yě. [Pinyin] ― It is not so. / That is not how it is.
- 子曰:「何必高宗,古之人皆然。」 [Classical Chinese, trad. and simp.]
- From: The Analects of Confucius, c. 475 – 221 BCE, translated based on James Legge's version
- Zǐ yuē: “Hé bì Gāo Zōng, gǔ zhī rén jiē rán.” [Pinyin]
- The Master said, "Why must Gao Zong be referred to as an example of this? The ancients were all like this.
- † Suffix forming adverbs, sometimes also adjectives, with an abstract meaning of “in the manner of, like”.
- † metaphors extracted from fossilizations of sense 2
- † but
- 然而 ― rán'ér ― but (literally, “(having said) that, and/but”)
- 吾不能早用子,今急而求子,是寡人之過也。然鄭亡,子亦有不利焉。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: Commentary of Zuo, c. 4th century BCE
- Wú bùnéng zǎo yòng zǐ, jīn jí ér qiú zǐ, shì guǎrén zhī guò yě. Rán Zhèng wáng, zǐ yì yǒu bùlì yān. [Pinyin]
- That I was not able to employ you earlier, and now beg your help in my straits, I acknowledge to be my fault. But if Zheng perish, you also will suffer loss.
吾不能早用子,今急而求子,是寡人之过也。然郑亡,子亦有不利焉。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
- † correct; right
- † to regard as correct; to agree
- † but
- (Teochew) to resemble; to be like
Usage notes
[edit]This word is fossilized and cannot be used to form new expressions in Modern Chinese. In earlier Chinese, it could freely refer to any verb clause.
- 29. 故善用兵譬如率然率然
- (literally, “So [the] good user [of] troops resembles like quickly [...] quickly [doing] that, i.e. using troops”)
- 58. 投之亡地然後存陷之死地然後生
- Alternatively punctuated 投之亡地。然後存。陷之死地。然後生
- (literally, “Throw them (the troops) [into] death land. After doing that [they will] survive. Sink them (the troops) [into] death land. After doing that [they will] live”)
With the alternative punctuation, the quote commands the reader to actually try this, which is somewhat reasonable. However in Classical Chinese, all pronouns, including this, can also used be topicalizers to merely continue the last clause but linguistically unfocus it instead of starting a new sentence. The topicalization interpretation is equal to the following:
- *投之亡地後存。陷之死地後生
