About
The character "笛", representing a flute or wind instrument, is etymologically formed by the bamboo radical denoting the material traditionally used for such instruments and the phonetic component "由" which guides its pronunciation. Historically, its meaning has consistently centered on wind instruments of the flute family, with no major semantic shifts, while its structural composition has remained unchanged, reflecting a direct link between form, function, and sound in the Chinese writing system.
