About
The character "巫" originally designated shamans in early Chinese society who performed rituals and divination to mediate with the spirit world. Its contemporary form is structured with the radical 工 appearing in a symmetrical, interconnected arrangement of strokes. Over time, the term's meaning broadened from specific ritual practitioners to include general concepts of magic and sorcery, often acquiring negative associations in later historical contexts.
