钅[釒]作偏旁，称“金字旁”，很多简体是从草书中演变而来。比如讠[訁]、饣[飠]、纟[糹]、钅[釒]，在草书中就有写作今天的“钅”旁这种形式，所以带“釒”字旁的字就都用简体“钅”来表示了。
钅[釒] is used as a radical, called “Golden Words”. Many simplified forms are derived from cursive script. For example, 讠[訁], 饣[飠], 纟[糹], 钅[釒], in cursive script there is a form next to “钅” written today, so the words next to the word “釒” are all simplified “钅” to express.
注：言食糸金一般只作左旁时简化，“讠、饣、纟、钅”一般只能用于左偏旁（“辩”、“罚”、“辫”、“丝”、“衔”等字亦简化，但“信”、“誓”、“燮”、“飧”、“餐”、“系”、“絮”、“紫”、“淦”、“鎜”、“鏖”、“鑫”等字不简化）。
以下是以“钅”为偏旁的汉字的一般规律：
①金属以及有金属特性的物质
【例】锂 铍 钠 镁 铝 钾 钙 钪 钛 钒 铬 锰 铁 钴 镍 铜 锌 镓 锗 铷 锶 钇 锆 铌 钼 锝 钌 铑 钯 银 镉 铟 锡 锑 钽 钨 铼 锇 铯 钡 镧 铪 铱 铂 金 铅 铋 钋 钫 镭 锕 钍 铵 钢 鐽 錀 䥑
②金属制品【名词】
【例】钉 针 镜 铃 锷 钺 锅 钟 钗 链 锁 锄 铲 锭 铠 锤 铎
③金属加工【动词】
【例】铸 铭 镌 锻 销 镀 错 镶 钊
④对金属制品的形容与描述【形容词】
【例】锐 锋 锈 钝
Note: It is generally only used for the left side of the simplification, “讠,饣,纟,钅” generally can only be used for the left side (“argument”, “punishment”, “braid”, “silk”, “title” The words are also simplified, but “xin”, “oath”, “xie”, “飧”, “meal”, “line”, “xu”, “purple”, “gan”, “鎜”, “鏖”, The words “Xin” are not simplified).
The following is the general rule of Chinese characters with “钅” as the radical:
①Metals and substances with metallic characteristics
[Example] lithium beryllium sodium magnesium aluminum potassium calcium scandium titanium vanadium chromium manganese iron cobalt nickel copper zinc gallium germanium rubidium strontium yttrium niobium molybdenum technetium ruthenium rhodium palladium silver cadmium indium tin antimony tantalum tungsten rhenium osmium cesium barium lanthanum hafnium iridium platinum gold lead bismuth polonium Francium radium actinium thorium ammonium steel 鐽錀䥑
②Metal products【noun】
[Example] Nail pin, mirror, bell, yue, pot, bell, chain, lock, hoe, shovel, ingot, armor, hammer
③Metal processing【verb】
[Example] Cast inscriptions, engraved forged pins, wrongly plated and inlaid
④Description and description of metal products【adjective】
[Example] Sharp, rust, and blunt
