About
Historically, the character for "draw" or "painting" evolved from a concept of boundary-making, with its traditional form "畫" structurally composed of a brush element over a field, enclosed to imply delineation. This etymology points to an initial meaning related to planning and marking borders, which over time shifted towards the broader activity of creating visual representations. The character's structural components, even as they simplified, continued to hint at this origin, while its semantic range expanded from practical measurement to artistic expression.
