About
The character 晋, with its traditional form 晉, is structurally based on the component for sun, 日, placed above a part that historically signifies entering or approaching, together forming the concept of advancement. Its earliest uses conveyed the meaning to advance or to promote, often in a ceremonial or hierarchical context. Over time, it became predominantly known as the name of the Jin state during the Zhou dynasty, and from this political entity it evolved into a widespread surname, while its original verbal sense persisted in literary and formal language, influencing compounds that denote improvement or elevation.
