About
The character "勤" is structurally composed of the elements "堇" and "力", with the former historically associated with concepts of difficulty or earth and the latter unequivocally denoting force or exertion, forming an etymological basis for meanings involving applied effort. Initially conveying notions of physical toil or laborious work in early usage, the term gradually expanded to describe a sustained and conscientious application of energy across various endeavors. This semantic shift refined its focus from mere act to enduring quality, solidifying its contemporary sense of diligence and persistent hard work, while its graphic composition has remained consistent, mirroring the stable conceptual union between challenge and dedicated strength.
