How to Write 赆 (jìn) — Meaning “parting gift”

Think of "ending (尽) your time together with money (贝) as a gift." This visualizes the idea of a farewell present, connecting the two components to the meaning of parting gift.

The left radical 贝 (4 strokes) should be written narrow, and the right part 尽 (6 strokes) should be balanced, not too wide. A common mistake is making the 贝 too large or misplacing the bottom strokes of 尽, so keep both parts about the same height and width.

赆 has 贝 on the left and 尽 on the right, meaning parting gift. 责 has 贝 with a horizontal line on top (like "一") and means responsibility or blame. 贤 has 贝 on the bottom with a different top component (like "又") and means virtuous or worthy.

赆 is a classical or literary word, rarely used in daily conversation. It appears mostly in formal or written contexts, such as in the phrase 赆仪 (parting gift money), especially in historical or ceremonial descriptions of farewell traditions.

Common words containing 赆 include: 赆仪 (jìn yí) — parting gift (money or goods); 赆别 (jìn bié) — to give a parting gift; 赆行 (jìn xíng) — to give a send-off gift.
