About
The character 繁 combines 敏, suggesting quickness, above the silk radical 糸, which relates to threads. Its original meaning referred to a woven strap for a horse's girth. This connection to densely woven threads led to an extended sense of complexity and multiplicity. Today, 繁 commonly describes things that are numerous, intricate, or flourishing, such as busy scenes or elaborate details.
