About
The character "拆" is constructed from the hand radical (扌) combined with the component 斥, which carries connotations of prying open or expelling, directly illustrating its core meaning of using manual force to pull something apart or open. Its fundamental sense has always been to dismantle, break open, or tear down physical structures, such as walls or buildings. Over time, this concrete action evolved to encompass more abstract applications, including the idea of dismantling arrangements or systems, and in specific contexts, it acquired the meaning of exposing or revealing something hidden, as in revealing a secret or opening a letter. The structural logic of the character has remained consistent, with its components continuing to visually suggest the act of applying force to separate one thing from another.
