The ancient character shape is from 艸, which means "jian". The original meaning of "blue" refers to polygonum indigo (a kind of herbaceous plant). The extracted indigo can be used as a dye, and later it was extended to the color of indigo dyeing, that is, blue.

"Blue" refers to color, used in "blue, blue sky, azure, blueprint", etc. "Basket" refers to utensils, used for "bamboo baskets, flower baskets, basketballs", etc. "兰" is used for "orchid".
