Definition
碧 is a bound morpheme (不能单独使用) that appears in literary or descriptive compounds, typically referring to a vivid bluish-green color reminiscent of jade or a clear sky. You'll encounter it in words like 碧绿 'emerald green', 碧空 'blue sky', and 碧玉 'jade'. Because it is a bound form, it must always be attached to another element — never use it as a standalone word.
