香烟

• 拼音: xiāng yān
• 汉字拆解: 香 = 禾 + 日 (grain in sun — fragrant); 烟 = 火 + 因 (fire — smoke rising from fire)

含义

Cigarette; a manufactured tobacco product for smoking. In literary and religious contexts, also fragrant smoke from burning incense.

The standard Mainland Chinese term for cigarettes. Despite growing anti-smoking legislation, cigarette culture remains prevalent in many social contexts. In classical or religious usage, 香烟 evokes the fragrant smoke that rises from incense at temples — quite different from the modern connotation.
