About
The traditional character 興 combines 舁 (four hands) and 同 (together), depicting hands working in unison to lift something. The simplified form 兴 was adapted from the cursive script, radically reducing the complex traditional structure to a few dots above a simple horizontal and diagonal base. Its meanings range from rising, flourishing, and thriving to excitement or keen interest.
