About
The character "籍" finds its origins in ancient administrative practices, where it specifically referred to household registration records often maintained on bamboo slips, a connection reflected in its "竹" radical. Structurally, it combines this semantic component with the phonetic element "耤", which historically guided its pronunciation. Initially denoting official population ledgers, the meaning of "籍" gradually extended over time to encompass a wider range of documented information, including books and literary works, as well as concepts of personal affiliation or native place, as seen in terms like "书籍" for books and "籍贯" for one's ancestral home, thereby illustrating a semantic expansion from a precise institutional term to a more general lexical resource.
