-The ancient form was 畺.
+The character 疆(􂛭) jiāng ‘boundary/border’ combines 土 ‘earth/land’, and 彊(􂏑) qiáng ‘strong bow’ (phonosemantic); the old writing 畺(􂛬) combines the older form 畕(􂛫) with 三 three boundary lines.
-	“田 fields with 三 boundary lines” —Karlgren.
+	Note: The form 彊 augmented with 弓 ‘bow’ on the left was used in place of 畺/畕, to emphasize the role of arms/weapons in the defense of territory.
-	弓 (gōng) ‘bow’ and 土 (tǔ) ‘earth’ were added later, since 畺 was considered insufficiently complex. The natural course of action was to take the character 彊, which is the old form of 强 qiáng ‘strong’, and add to it 土 (tǔ) ‘earth’ which is nearly invisible in the lower left corner.
