Zi Collection, Middle Volume Radical: Person (rén) Entry: lan Kangxi stroke count: 16 Page 120, Entry 01 According to Broad Rimes (Guangyun), pronounced lan. According to Collected Rimes (Jiyun), pronounced lan. Lanchai refers to an ugly appearance. Note: Lan and another character have different pronunciations but the same definition, which suggests an error.
