Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 慶
Western Zhou Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Bronze inscriptions Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts
     
Characters in the same phonetic series (慶) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
慶 *kʰraŋ
羻 *kʰlaŋs

In oracle bone inscriptions Ideogrammic compound (會意／会意) : 廌 (“Xiezhi”) + 心. The component 心 represented the beautiful markings of the mythical beast, signifying goodness, blessings and auspiciousness.

In bronze inscriptions 心 is often also written as 文. During the Warring states period, the tail of 廌 corrupted into 个, then further into 夂 during the Qin dynasty. Based on the overlap between the many ancient variants of the character Ji, Xusheng (2004) suggests that 麕, 廌, 麐, 鹿 all refer to kinds of deer – beautiful and therefore worth celebrating when obtained. He also concludes that there is enough evidence that 慶 and 麐 were once the same character. Since 麐 was the most precious among deer, its character was used to express celebration.

Etymology 1

edit
trad. 慶
simp. 庆
alternative forms 𢙎
𢞢
𢝑

Uncertain. Schuessler (2007) sees possible cognacy to Tibetan གཡང (g.yang, “happiness, blessing, prosperity”), which Bodman (1980) relates instead to 祥 (OC *ljaŋ).
