About
The character 骥, traditionally written as 驥, structurally combines the horse radical with a phonetic component that also implies a sense of aspiration, originally referring specifically to a legendary horse of superior speed and stamina. Over time, its application broadened from this literal meaning to a metaphorical one, where it began to designate individuals of exceptional talent or lofty potential, a shift consistent with classical literary traditions that valued such analogies. The character's construction has preserved this core relationship between form and meaning, with the simplified variant maintaining the essential semantic link to equine qualities while adapting the graphical form.
