About
The character "篱", referring to a bamboo fence or hedge, evolved from the traditional form "籬", which combines the bamboo radical indicating the material of such barriers with the phonetic component "離" to suggest pronunciation. Its structure was later altered by replacing the complex phonetic with the simpler "离", while the bamboo radical was retained to preserve the semantic link to wooden or vegetative enclosures. Etymologically, the character has always conveyed the idea of a boundary or partition, and its core meaning has remained stable over time, consistently representing man-made divides in both rural and domestic contexts. This structural adjustment streamlined the character without diverting from its original conceptual foundation, maintaining a direct association between form and function.
