About
The character "暨" has a traditional form that was not subject to simplification, and its structure combines the components "既", which relates to completion, and "旦", representing dawn, a composition that originally conveyed a sense of reaching or extending to a point. Etymologically, it is linked to concepts of connection and boundary, with an early usage tied to ceremonial vessels marking the conclusion of rituals, suggesting a limit or terminus. Over time, its application broadened from indicating physical or temporal endpoints to functioning primarily as a conjunctive particle in literary Classical Chinese, equivalent to "and" or "as well as", thereby denoting a logical connection or inclusion rather than a spatial one. This semantic shift moved the character from a more concrete, ritualistic context into the realm of abstract grammatical linkage, while its core idea of joining or extending to a point remained perceptible within its classical conjunctive usage.
