About
The character "碧" derives from a structural composition that integrates the jade radical "王" with the element "白" for whiteness and "石" for stone, collectively implying a stone with qualities resembling pale or greenish jade. Its earliest recorded meanings centered on a specific type of green jade or bluish-green mineral, but over time the term expanded to denote the color spectrum between green and blue, frequently applied in classical poetry and prose to describe natural features like clear waters, serene skies, or verdant landscapes. This evolution from a concrete noun to an abstract color adjective enriched its literary utility while its graphical form, consisting of these combined components, remained consistent across centuries of written language.
