The left is two ice blocks, the right is character Odd Jade (Post 644), which means that there is a mouth in the river bank, making big flood. Why is the left two ice blocks, not character Water? I don't know.

The small seal script of character Burst is
The left is character Water (Post 13), the right is character Odd Jade (Post 644). Here left is character Water, the right is character Odd Jade. 

The clerical script of character Burst is

The left is Radical Two Drops, normally means cold, the right is character Odd Jade, but changed a lot, especially the bottom, no similarity to old scripts.

The Pinyin of the character is Jue2.

The character means that the water bursts the bank, but more meanings like: decide, split, etc, but all happened quickly.
