Character Story & Explanation
枻 (yì) refers to an oar, a tool used to row a boat. In ancient Chinese literature, it symbolizes travel, leisure, or escape. Similar to the Western concept of an oar in rowing or mythology (e.g., Charon's ferry), 枻 carries poetic connotations of guiding one's own journey.
