About
The traditional form 瓊 is a phono-semantic compound with the semantic radical 玉 (jade), which appears as 王 on the left, and the phonetic component 瞏 (qióng). The simplified form 琼 replaces the phonetic element with 京 (jīng). Its core meaning is a fine, red jade or precious stone. Due to jade's cultural associations with purity and beauty, the character extended to describe anything exceptionally beautiful, precious, or excellent, often used poetically for fine wine, grand buildings, or snowy landscapes.
