About
The character 颂, formed by the phonetic element 公 and the semantic component 页 which represents the head, originally carried connotations of physical appearance and ceremonial demeanor. In early Chinese literature, it designated a genre of ritual poetry within the Classic of Poetry, where these odes served to honor and extol ancestral figures and virtuous deeds. Subsequently, the term broadened in application to denote any form of laudatory expression, from formal eulogies to general acts of acclaim, while its structural composition has persisted without alteration, reflecting its enduring link to concepts of public recognition and honor.
