About
The character "酝" is the simplified form of the traditional character "醞", which is composed of the semantic radical for wine, "酉", combined with "昷" serving as a phonetic component, clearly linking it to the process of brewing or fermenting alcoholic beverages. Its core meaning originally referred specifically to the act of fermenting wine, a concrete and artisanal activity. Over time, this concrete sense broadened into a more abstract and metaphorical usage, coming to signify the gradual formation or development of something, such as an idea, plan, or atmosphere, much like the slow, transformative process of fermentation itself. Thus, the character's conceptual journey moved from describing a tangible, material preparation to encompassing intangible preparations and accumulations.
