About
The character "视" originates from a combination of semantic components that convey its core meaning. Its traditional form, 視, is composed of the element 示, representing an altar or the divine, alongside 見, which depicts an eye and signifies the act of seeing; this structure creates the concept of seeing with reverence, judgment, or attention. Initially, the character embodied the act of looking closely or inspecting something, often with a sense of ritual observation or deliberate examination. Over time, its meaning broadened from this concrete visual action to encompass more abstract notions of regarding, considering, or treating something in a certain way, such as in the compound "重视" (to value). The modern simplified form retains the 示 component but replaces 見 with the simpler 见, preserving the essential phonetic and conceptual link to sight while streamlining its writing.
