About
The character 葵 is structurally composed of the grass radical 艹 positioned above the component 癸, which serves as a phonetic element. Historically, this character denoted various plants characterized by their heliotropic qualities, with its earliest references encompassing species like the mallow. Over time, the semantic range of 葵 narrowed, and it now most commonly specifies the sunflower in everyday usage, though classical literature retains its application to other botanical varieties.
