About
The character '灵' derives from the traditional composite character '靈', which combines the semantic elements for rain ('雨') and shaman ('巫'), reflecting an ancient connection to ritual practices aimed at harnessing spiritual forces. Its original meaning pertained to supernatural efficacy and divine communication, but over time it acquired additional connotations of mental agility and practical effectiveness. A structural variant, '灵', emerged with components suggesting fire ('火') and a condensed form, offering a streamlined representation while preserving the essential idea of spiritual energy and liveliness.
