About
The character 萋 combines the grass radical (艹) at the top with the phonetic component 妻 at the bottom. It primarily functions as an adjective to describe lush, dense vegetation, often evoking vivid natural imagery in classical poetry. The term is most frequently encountered in its reduplicated form, 萋萋, which intensifies the sense of flourishing, overgrown plant life, giving it a distinctly literary and descriptive quality.
