About
Originally written the same as 回 (return), 亘 was later distinguished by the addition of lines above and below, resulting in a central 日 (sun) held tightly between two horizontal strokes that represent the bounds of heaven and earth. The form vividly suggests a continuous span bridging a void, and by extension captures temporal endurance , extending across a vast distance, stretching from one end to another, or enduring uninterrupted. It is frequently used in descriptions of mountain ranges or geographical features that stretch endlessly across a landscape.
