About
进 is a phonosemantic compound: the movement radical 辶 conveys the core meaning of advancing, while 井 (jǐng) supplies the sound. It is the simplified form of 進, which originally used 隹 (a short-tailed bird) as its phonetic element. The character covers both physically entering a space and abstract progress, like rising in rank or improving a situation.
