The Chinese character 奖 (jiǎng) is composed of two parts: the radical 赏 (shǎng), which means "to reward," and the phonetic component 匠 (jiàng), which means "to build" or "to create." The character 奖 thus combines the ideas of "rewarding" and "creating" to convey the meaning of "prize" or "award."The earliest known use of the character 奖 dates back to the Shang dynasty (c. 1600-1046 BCE), where it was used in the sense of "to reward" or "to praise." Over time, the character took on the additional meaning of "prize" or "award," and it is now commonly used in this sense in modern Chinese.The character 奖 is also used in a number of other contexts, including:- As a verb, meaning "to reward" or "to praise."- As a noun, meaning "prize" or "award."- As an adjective, meaning "rewarding" or "praiseworthy."The character 奖 is a versatile and commonly used character in Chinese, and it is important for HSK learners to understand its meaning and usage.
