About
The character "黑" originates from the representation of soot or dark smoke from fire, with its modern structure featuring a top component that evokes an enclosure or chimney and a bottom component of four dots denoting fire. Initially referring strictly to the color black, its meaning gradually extended to encompass concepts of obscurity, secrecy, and illegality, leading to its use in terms such as "黑幕" (black curtain) for hidden schemes and "黑心" (black heart) for malicious intent.
