About
The character "秋", meaning autumn, originates from an agricultural concept where its components "禾" for grain and "火" for fire jointly symbolize the post-harvest process of drying crops with heat, a practice characteristic of that time of year. This elemental combination initially conveyed a broader sense of harvest time before its semantic scope narrowed to designate the third season specifically. Over time, the character's form consolidated into its stable present configuration, while its meaning occasionally extended in literary contexts to represent a full year or a phase of maturity, thereby encompassing both seasonal and temporal dimensions within its significance.
