About

The word 伤疤 is formed by combining two characters that sequentially depict a physical narrative. 伤 (shāng) means "wound" or "injury", representing the initial harmful event. This is then followed by 疤 (bā), which means "scar" or "mark", representing the lasting physical remnant left after the wound heals. Together, they visually and conceptually trace the complete process from the infliction of damage to its permanent, visible result on the body.
