镶嵌

• 병음: xiāng qiàn
• 한자 분석: 镶 = 钅 + 襄 (metal framing); 嵌 = 山 + 欠 (mountain hollow + gap — a cavity waiting to be filled)

뜻

상감하다; 박아 넣다

More formal and complete than 镶 alone, 镶嵌 is commonly used in written descriptions of fine craftsmanship, architectural design, and decorative arts. It also appears metaphorically to describe communities, villages, or landscapes seamlessly integrated into their surroundings — as if fitted into a natural setting.
