About
The character '楼', in its simplified iteration, derives from the traditional form '樓', structured with the '木' radical to signify wood and the '婁' component for phonetic guidance, pointing to its historical association with wooden multi-storied buildings. Originally designating such towers, its meaning gradually extended to include any building with multiple floors, and later, it also came to refer to an individual level within these structures, reflecting an expansion in usage as architectural styles and urban environments developed.
