About
参 is the simplified form of the traditional character 參. In its traditional structure, 晶 (three stars) appears above 彡 (rays of light), depicting the shining Three Stars constellation (参宿) of Chinese astronomy. The simplified character reduces the upper star cluster to the simpler components 厶 and 大, while leaving the three luminous strokes untouched below. Originally a celestial name, the character's common modern senses, "to participate", "to join", "to consult", emerged later as phonetic loans. In a separate usage with a different pronunciation, 参 refers to the plant ginseng.
