About
Originating as a phono-semantic compound, the character "笈" combines the bamboo radical with the phonetic element "及" to denote a bamboo book satchel carried by scholars, a structure that directly reflects its initial function as a portable container for texts. Over time, the term's application broadened from referring solely to the physical object to encompassing the books themselves or the act of bearing them, often employed in classical phrases to symbolize the pursuit of learning away from home. While its form has remained consistent, the character retains its core association with scholarly tools, maintaining a link to its etymological roots in material and purpose.
