About
The character '筐' derives from a phono-semantic composition, integrating the bamboo radical '竹' to indicate the material commonly used for its construction with the component '匡' which offers phonetic guidance and contributes its ancestral sense of a frame or enclosure, collectively conveying the idea of a woven basket. Its structural form has maintained this logical arrangement, with the bamboo element consistently pointing to the object's typical substance and '匡' anchoring the sound while subtly reinforcing the concept of a contained space. Throughout its usage, the meaning of '筐' has remained specifically tied to a basket or similar container used for holding or transporting items, demonstrating a stable semantic focus without significant deviation or expansion from its original purpose.
