About
The character '腾', traditionally written as '騰' which combines the horse radical '馬' with the component '朕', initially conveyed specific equine movements like galloping or prancing. Over time, its application shifted from literal horse-related actions to metaphorical uses, such as describing the rising of steam or mist, the soaring of spirits, or the agitation of emotions, which then further extended to meanings involving the act of making space or transferring something. The simplified form '腾' retains the horse radical in its condensed shape '马' alongside the unchanged element '朕', thus continuing to reflect its original structural composition while accommodating the broadened semantic range that now encompasses concepts of upward motion and energetic transition.
