About
The character for brilliance, "辉", originates from its traditional form "輝", which is composed of the radical for light, "光", on the left and the component for army or multitude, "軍", on the right, suggesting a meaning akin to the collective radiance or glory emanating from a military force. This etymology points to an initial association with martial splendor and magnificent light, a sense that broadened over time to describe any kind of bright, shining, or glorious luminosity, whether literal or metaphorical. In its structural evolution, the simplified form "辉" replaced the complex "軍" with another instance of "光" on the right, a change that visually reinforces the character's core association with light while streamlining its composition. The semantic focus consequently shifted from its original martial connotations to a more general and prevalent expression of radiant brilliance and illumination.
