邙

máng

Mt Mang at Luoyang in Henan, with many Han, Wei and Jin dynasty royal tombs

place (阝) + death sound (亡) = the hill of tombs

The city radical (阝) marks this as a place name; 亡 lends its sound máng rather than its meaning. Mt Mang became synonymous with death through its centuries of royal burials.
