About
庚 originated as a pictograph of an agricultural tool, such as a pestle or grain threshing implement. In its modern form, it is a single unit without distinct semantic or phonetic components. Primarily, it serves as the seventh of the ten Heavenly Stems, used for marking years, months, days, and hours in traditional Chinese calendrical and astrological systems. In the Five Elements theory, 庚 represents metal and the west, and it also denotes age or chronological records in literary contexts.
