About
The character 班 etymologically stems from the concept of splitting jade, evident in its structural composition of two jade elements (王) positioned on either side of a knife (刀). Originally denoting the physical act of dividing jade, its meaning expanded to include any form of division or allocation. Subsequently, it acquired the sense of a distinct unit or group formed by such division, leading to its modern applications in terms like work shift or student class.
