About
The traditional character "葉", representing the concept of a leaf, is structurally composed of the grass radical "艹" positioned above the component "枼". Concurrently, the character "叶", constructed from the elements "口" and "十", originally functioned as a distinct graph conveying the meaning of harmony or accord. Through historical linguistic processes, "叶" was later appropriated to serve as a graphical substitute for "葉", thereby shifting its primary semantic value to that of "leaf", while its initial meaning of harmony became obsolete in common vernacular usage.
