About
妻 refers to a wife or married woman. Its modern structure combines an intricate upper element with the radical 女 (woman) below, indicating the feminine association. The upper portion historically depicted a hand gathering a woman’s hair and pinning it up, reflecting the traditional custom where a woman would bind her hair to signify adulthood and marriage. Thus, the character captures the status of a woman as a spouse within a household.
