About
The character "簿" structurally combines the bamboo radical with the phonetic component "溥", an etymology that points directly to its original association with bamboo writing strips used for early records and registers. Over time, its meaning expanded from these physical assemblies of inscribed bamboo to encompass a wider variety of documents designed for notation, such as account ledgers, administrative rosters, and official logbooks. The persistent bamboo element in its construction continues to hint at this material origin, while the character's semantic range has gradually extended to include modern items like notebooks and booklets, reflecting a shift from concrete objects to broader concepts of documentation without altering its fundamental form.
