About
The character "育" originated from early pictographic depictions of childbirth, featuring a woman alongside an inverted child to represent the act of giving birth, which structurally condensed over time into its present form combining an upper element derived from that inverted child with a lower component signifying flesh, thereby encapsulating the notion of bearing and nurturing life. Its meaning progressively expanded from the specific physical process of parturition to include the broader concepts of rearing, fostering, and educating, thereby encompassing the holistic development of individuals through care and instruction.
