About
The character 融 derives from an early form combining 鬲, a pictorial element for a ritual cooking vessel, and 虫, which may have served as a phonetic indicator or symbolized transformative creatures. Its core meaning originally centered on the process of melting or the dispersion of steam from a heated pot, which gradually broadened to indicate any harmonious blending or integration, such as in social or cultural contexts. This conceptual expansion continued into domains like economics, where it acquired the sense of liquidity or the seamless flow of funds, illustrating a progression from tangible physical states to more abstract notions of fusion and exchange.
