About
The character "书", representing the concepts of book or to write, originates from its traditional form "書", a compound character integrating "聿" symbolizing a hand grasping a brush and "曰" denoting speech or utterance, which together initially embodied the action of inscribing spoken words. Its early application centered on the act of writing itself, but through prolonged use, the meaning broadened to encompass the tangible results of that action, including records, official documents, and later, compiled literary works. The contemporary simplified form "书" evolved from historical cursive renderings of the character, condensing its complex structure into a fewer-stroke abstraction while maintaining its fundamental semantic association with written language.
