About
The character "疆" originates from early notions of territorial demarcation, with its structure combining "土" for earth and "彊" to denote limits, the latter itself composed of "弓" representing bows used in marking land and "畺" depicting divided fields, thus emphasizing boundary lines. Its meaning gradually expanded from specific agricultural divisions to encompass general frontiers or borders, consistently retaining the land association through the enduring presence of "土" in its form. The traditional construction of "疆" has remained largely unchanged, reflecting an etymological focus on defined spatial partitions and the conceptual importance of boundaries in both agrarian and territorial contexts.
