About
The character "包" originated as a pictographic representation of a fetus enclosed within a womb, a depiction which clearly conveys its fundamental meaning of wrapping, enclosing, or bundling. This core concept has remained consistent in its written form, which structurally combines a component suggesting a curved enclosure with elements representing what is contained within. From this physical sense of enveloping an object, its meaning expanded abstractly to denote assuming responsibility for something or containing something within a scope, as seen in words for guarantee, package, and inclusion. Over time, it also developed into a common surname and was applied to various items that inherently wrap, such as certain types of buns or dumplings, where the food is literally encased in dough.
