About
飞 is the simplified form of 飛, both originating as pictographs of a bird in flight. The traditional 飛 is highly detailed, depicting a bird with extended wings and body, while the simplified 飞 condenses this into a stylized wing shape of three strokes, accompanied by a curved stroke that suggests upward motion. Its primary meaning is "to fly", referring to birds, insects, and aircraft. By extension, it came to describe anything that moves with great speed, vanishes quickly, or hovers, applying to fast-moving objects, splashing liquids, and fleeting emotions.
