About
The character 妆 (traditional: 妝) combines the left component 丬, historically associated with a bed or board, and the right radical 女 (woman), evoking a domestic scene of personal grooming. Its primary meaning is the act of applying cosmetics or adorning oneself, as well as the makeup or adornments themselves. A common variant, 粧, incorporates the rice radical and the character for village, but all forms share the core sense of cosmetic application and physical beautification related to personal appearance.
