About
The character "议", derived from its traditional form "議", integrates the speech radical "言" with the component "義", which conveys righteousness and historically functioned as a phonetic indicator, originally denoting formal deliberations on matters of principle or justice. Over time, its application broadened from these focused debates to encompass general discussion, the act of proposing, and the expression of personal viewpoints. The simplified form "议" preserves this foundational idea by combining the condensed speech radical "讠" with "义", a character similarly associated with justice, thus maintaining the etymological connection between discourse and ethical consideration while presenting a more concise graphical structure.
