About
The character 齐 (traditional 齊) expresses the ideas of evenness, neatness, and equality. The traditional form, 齊, originated as a pictograph of three grain stalks rising side by side to the same height, capturing the uniform look of a ripening field. In the simplified 齐, the elaborate upper and lower elements are reduced to a compact, abstract shape that no longer suggests grain. From this agricultural image, the meaning broadened to denote general uniformity, the action of putting things in order, and the sense of completeness, having all parts together with nothing missing.
