U+5F1B "弛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
弛
U+5F1B "弛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the concepts of loosening, relaxing, or slackening, often used in contrast to tension or rigidity. It is composed of the radical 弓 (bow) on the left, suggesting a connection to archery or bending, and the phonetic component 也 on the right, which contributes to its sound. Commonly found in words like 松弛 (sōngchí), meaning slack or lax, and 弛缓 (chíhuǎn), meaning to relax or ease, this character appears in contexts ranging from physical relaxation to the loosening of social or moral standards. Historically, it derives from classical Chinese texts, where it described the unstringing of a bow, metaphorically extending to any release of pressure or discipline.
