Character Story & Explanation
柎 (fū) refers to the calyx of a flower, the protective green leaf-like structure beneath the petals. In Chinese culture, it symbolizes the foundation and support that enables beauty to flourish. The character is composed of 木 (wood/tree) and 付 (to give), suggesting nature's provision.
