About
The character "资", with its traditional form "資", is structurally composed of the phonetic component "次" placed above the radical "貝", which historically represents shells used as currency, immediately signaling its intrinsic connection to material value and resources. Its core meaning has consistently revolved around the concepts of capital, assets, and provisions, referring originally to the goods or money needed to undertake an endeavor. Over time, this concrete notion of material endowment expanded into more abstract applications, giving rise to meanings such as natural endowment or innate qualities, and by extension, to qualifications or credentials that represent a form of social or intellectual capital. This semantic development reflects how the fundamental idea of a foundational resource broadened from the purely financial to encompass both innate and acquired forms of worth.
