About
The traditional character 遼, composed of the walking radical 辶 and the phonetic component 尞, originally embodied the concept of geographical distance or expansive breadth, often used to describe remote regions. Its semantic focus later narrowed to refer specifically to the Liao River basin and was subsequently adopted as the name for the Khitan Liao Dynasty, thus cementing its association with that historical period and territory, while the simplified form 辽 retains this semantic range through a reduced structure that replaces 尞 with 了.
