About
The character "奔" originates from an early ideographic concept of a person running, with its composition evolving to combine the element "大", representing a figure in motion, placed above "卉", a component that historically derived from symbols denoting swift movement or multiple footsteps, thus visually emphasizing haste. Over time, this structure crystallized into the enduring form that conveys the core idea of rapid forward motion, while its semantic range extended from the basic act of running to include nuances such as fleeing from threat or dedicating oneself earnestly to a purpose, reflecting an adaptation from purely physical speed to broader metaphorical applications of directed and urgent effort.
