About
The character 黎 is structurally complex, with the millet radical 黍 at its bottom, suggesting agriculture or harvests, while the upper and surrounding parts provide its phonetic sound. Its earliest meanings referred to a multitude or vast gathering of things, later extending to describe the common people or masses in an agricultural society. It also acquired associations with a dark or blackish color, which informs its most common modern use in the compound word for dawn or daybreak, depicting the dim, hazy sky just before sunrise.
