About
The character "涌", which conveys the sense of gushing or surging, is formed from the water radical paired with the phonetic element "甬", a structure preserved in its traditional form "湧". The water radical inherently ties the character to liquid movement, while the phonetic component "甬" originally suggested a passage or channel, aligning with the idea of directed flow. Over centuries, the meaning of "涌" extended from describing physical water sources to metaphorically capturing the motion of crowds and the sudden emergence of emotions or ideas, demonstrating a semantic expansion from tangible to abstract surges while consistently relying on its aquatic imagery.
