About

The character 蒋, with its traditional form 蔣, is structurally composed of the grass radical 艹 and the phonetic component 將, which appears as 将 in the simplified version. Etymologically, it initially referred to a type of grass or a millet-like plant in early Chinese texts. This botanical meaning gradually faded, and the character transitioned to being used almost exclusively as a surname in later historical periods.
