About
The character "暄" is structured with the sun radical on the left and the phonetic component "宣" on the right, a formation that has remained unchanged and visually conveys its original association with sunlight and warmth. Etymologically, it initially described the physical warmth of the sun, a meaning evident in early literary uses, which then extended over time to encompass general descriptions of mild and temperate weather. Its semantic development further integrated it into social vocabulary, most notably within the compound "寒暄", where it contributes to expressing conventional inquiries about one's state, thus reflecting a shift from purely environmental reference to include interpersonal communication.
