About
The character "勘" originates from the structural combination of "甚", conveying a sense of profundity or intensity, and "力", denoting labor or exertion, together forming a conceptual basis for applying concerted effort to processes of scrutiny and assessment. Its early usage centered on the meticulous examination and collation of texts, reflecting a meaning focused on verification and correction, which later extended to encompass physical acts of investigation such as surveying terrain or exploring natural resources. This expansion in application, from textual criticism to empirical fieldwork, demonstrates a semantic broadening while retaining the core idea of rigorous inquiry, with the character's graphical composition remaining consistent over time.
