About
The character 趋 (traditional form 趨) is a phono-semantic compound. Its semantic radical is 走 (zǒu, to run/walk) on the left, indicating movement. The right component 刍 (traditional 芻, chú, fodder) serves as the phonetic marker. Originally, it meant to hurry or walk rapidly toward a specific destination, implying purposeful or urgent movement. While this literal sense persists, its common usage now leans toward abstract concepts: tending toward a direction, inclining toward an outcome, or following a trend.
