About
The character "弼" originates from a concept related to the reinforcement and correction of a bow, with its traditional form composed of two "弓" (gōng, meaning bow) components flanking a central element historically resembling "㐁" which may depict a lining or binding. This structure visually conveys the idea of strengthening a bow by attaching auxiliary pieces to its sides, a practical measure to prevent warping or breakage. Over time, its meaning expanded metaphorically from this concrete mechanical support to the abstract sense of aiding, assisting, or rectifying someone, particularly a superior. This evolved into its classical and literary usage as a verb meaning to assist or to correct, and as a noun referring to an auxiliary official or aid. The character’s form was later standardized with the central component becoming "百", though the overarching concept of providing crucial support remained consistent throughout its semantic development.
