About
The character 篡 is structurally complex, with the bamboo radical 竹 at the top. Below it are the eye 目, the character for big 大, and the private or selfish component 厶 at the very bottom. Its meaning refers to the treacherous act of usurping power, specifically, when a subordinate or rebel leader violently overthrows a legitimate sovereign to seize the throne. The component 厶 at the base reinforces the illegitimacy and personal greed behind the action, placing the character firmly within the context of political treason and the unlawful seizure of authority.
