About
The character "识", as the simplified form of the traditional character "識", derives from an etymological foundation where its components originally conveyed the idea of marking or recording through language. The traditional form combines "言", representing speech or verbal expression, with "戠", an element that historically provided both phonetic guidance and semantic connotations related to distinguishing or knowing. Initially associated with the act of remembering or making mental notations, the character's meaning gradually broadened to encompass the faculties of understanding, recognition, and acquired knowledge. This semantic shift from concrete notation to abstract cognition is mirrored in the structural simplification where "戠" was replaced by "只", streamlining the character's composition while maintaining its essential conceptual link to perception and awareness.
