About
The character 青, representing colors such as blue and green, has an etymology linking it to growth and pigment, historically composed of 生 over 丹, though the contemporary shape resembles 生 over 月. Its semantic range broadened from denoting natural hues to encompassing youth and freshness, as in 青春, and even black in certain idioms like 青丝, reflecting a shift from color specificity to symbolic associations with vitality and nascent states.
