About
The traditional character 進 combines the movement radical 辶 with 隹, a short-tailed bird that acts as a phonetic element. This structure points to the original meaning of moving forward or advancing physically. The simplified form 进 replaces 隹 with 井 (a well), which serves purely as a phonetic component to streamline the character. The core meaning covers both physical entry into a space and abstract progress, such as advancing in rank or improving a situation.
