Definition
a unit of length / inch / thumb
寸 [cùn]名1. 中国市制长度单位，一尺的十分之一：尺寸。 (A Chinese unit of length, one-tenth of a chi (尺).)2. 短小：寸土。寸阴（日影移动一寸的时间）。寸心。寸步难行。 (Short and small: e.g. 'inch of soil', 'an inch of shadow' (the time it takes for the sun's shadow to move an inch), 'tiny heart', 'difficult to walk an inch'.)3. 姓。 (A surname.)本义：中医切脉，称距离手腕一寸长的部位为“寸口”，简称“寸”(Original meaning: In traditional Chinese medicine, the area one inch from the wrist is called "cun kou," shortened to "cun".)造字法：指事。小篆字形，从又，从一。“又”象手形，“一”指下手腕一寸之处。“寸”是汉字部首之一，从“寸”的字往往与“手”有关。(Character formation: This character is a pictograph. The small seal script shows '又' which resembles a hand, and '一' which indicates one inch from the wrist. "寸" is one of the radicals in Chinese characters, often relating to hands.)引1. 《说文》：寸，十分也。人手却一寸，动脉谓之寸口。按，十发为程，而当一分，十分为寸。 (From "Shuowen": "Cun" means one-tenth. The pulse near the wrist is called "cun kou." Ten units together form a whole; therefore, ten units equal "cun".)2. 《大载礼记·主言》：布指知寸。 (From "Daizi Li Ji": The cloth points to the inch.)例寸田(三丹田);寸关尺(中医指寸口、关上、尺中的简称)(Examples: cun tian (three dantians); cun guan chi (in TCM refers to the abbreviations for cun kou, guan shang, and chi).)形1. 引申为极短。 (Extended meaning: Very short.)引1. 梁启超《谭嗣同传》：君与康先生捧诏恸哭，而皇上手无寸柄，无所为计。 (From Liang Qichao's "Tan Sitong Chuan": "You and Mr. Kang held the edict and cried, but the emperor had no control over a single inch, unable to take action.")例寸幅(短信);寸旬(极短的时间);寸铁(形容短小的兵器)(Examples: cun fu (text message); cun xun (extremely short period); cun tie (referring to a small weapon).)2. 形容极小的。 (Describing something very small.)例如:寸土必争;寸愿(微小的心愿);寸田(人胸中方寸之地。用以比喻心);寸进(形容进步极少);寸缕(极少的布制)(Examples: e.g. 'an inch of soil is worth fighting for'; 'cun yuan' (a tiny wish); 'cun tian' (referring to the heart's small space, as a metaphor for the heart); 'cun jin' (describing very little progress); 'cun lü' (very little cloth).)动协助(Assist)引1. 《西游记》：两条棍响振天关，不见输赢皆傍寸。 (From "Journey to the West": "The two sticks echoed through the sky, without any clear outcome, just beside an inch.")
