About
The character 将 is the simplified equivalent of the traditional 將. Its left side, 爿 (simplified to 丬), serves as a phonetic component, while the right side combines 肉 (meat) and 寸 (a hand) to depict a hand taking a piece of meat. This originally conveyed taking or holding something, which later extended to grammatical roles: it marks the future tense ("will" or "going to") and can function as an object marker in certain sentence patterns. When pronounced differently, it becomes a noun meaning a military general or commander. The simplified character reduces the left phonetic and merges the right-side meat and hand into a simpler structure.
