About
The character 画 originates from a pictograph of a hand holding a brush (聿) and drawing something. The traditional form 畫 directly reflects this image, conveying the action of drawing or painting, and later extending to the result, a picture or painting. In the simplified form, the brush component 聿 is deleted, leaving a compact structure made up of 一, 由, and 凵. Despite the reduction, the character maintains its core association with visual depiction.
