Chinese character meaning flower
「花」という漢字は元々、花びらが美しく咲く様子を表す(2)から来ており、その後(2)の俗字として(1)が作られました。
The character (3) kusakanmuri was taken over from (2), and the character (4) bakeru, meaning to change, was added to form (1) flower.
It can be said that this Kanji character captures the characteristic of changing from a “bud” to a “beautiful flower. Therefore, “(2)flower” and “(1)hana” are used with almost the same meaning.
