Character Story & Explanation
揵 (qián) is a rare character meaning 'to carry' or 'to lift,' often used in classical texts and compound words. It shares the semantic component 扌 (hand) and phonetic 建 (jiàn). Culturally, it evokes the image of carrying a heavy burden, similar to 'bearing the weight' in Western contexts, but less common in modern Chinese.
