About
The character "捆" originally meant to bind or tie together, constructed from the semantic component "hand" (扌) on the left, denoting manual action, combined with the phonetic and semantic component "囷" (qūn) on the right, which referred to a round granary, evoking the idea of gathering and confining something within a defined space. This traditional form visually reinforced the concept of using the hand to bundle items into a constrained unit, much like grain contained in a storehouse. Over time, while its core meaning of physically tying or bundling objects, such as firewood or packages, remained central, its application broadened to encompass more abstract forms of binding or restriction, such as being tied to a concept or bound by circumstances. The structural composition has remained consistent in conveying this action of confinement through manual means.
