About
The character "世" etymologically derives from the concept of thirty years, interpreted as three tens, which established its original meaning as a generation. From this core sense, it extended to denote successive eras or ages, and later broadened to encompass the world or human society. The modern form is a consolidated structure that evolved from earlier graphical representations without visually reflecting its original components.
