Collocations include phrases like 瑛石 (yīng shí) meaning 'gemstone.'
瑛 is not included in the HSK levels, but it aligns with advanced vocabulary related to beauty and nature. Learners should focus on the character's application in literature and art, connecting it to other HSK vocabulary that describes aesthetics, like 美 (měi) for 'beauty.'
