About
The character 荐 primarily functions as a verb meaning to recommend, introduce, or propose. Its traditional form 薦 is structurally complex, with the grass radical 艹 above the component 廌, which depicts a mythical beast. This original form referred to the grass such creatures ate or a woven grass mat. The simplified form 荐 retains 艹 but replaces the intricate 廌 with the simpler component 存, which also serves as a phonetic element. Over time, the meaning shifted from the tangible grass mat to the abstract act of offering or recommending something of value.
