About
The character "牛" derives from an early pictorial representation of a bovine animal, which through historical writing practices was gradually simplified into its modern form consisting of four strokes. In contemporary usage, it serves as a standalone character and a radical that imparts bovine-related meaning to other characters. Although its primary lexical meaning refers to the animal ox or cow, over time it has acquired additional semantic layers, including metaphorical applications to denote robustness or obstinacy in various expressions.
