About
The character "早" originates from an ideographic construct that merges the component 日, symbolizing the sun, with 十, which historically represented the horizon or the crossing of sunlight, to depict the sun ascending at daybreak. This structural arrangement consistently conveyed the notion of morning, and although its graphical representation experienced subtle stylistic shifts over time, the core composition remained intact. The meaning of "早" expanded from its specific reference to the early part of the day to encompass broader temporal concepts of earliness or precedence, all while retaining an etymological connection to its initial visual metaphor of dawn.
