About
The character "杂", whose traditional form is "雜", originally depicted a scene of many birds gathering in a tree, as suggested by its components involving a feather and a tree, conveying an early sense of mixed plurality and disorder. Over time, this concrete image of mingled birds gave way to a more abstract conceptual meaning, broadening to encompass anything composite, miscellaneous, or impure, as seen in terms for mixed crops, sundry goods, or heterogeneous thoughts. The structural simplification to the contemporary form "杂", which combines the element for "nine" with that for "tree", represents a later graphical streamlining that moved away from the earlier pictographic suggestion while retaining the core semantic notion of numerous and varied elements brought together.
