Meaning:

Uniform; similar; together

Origin:

田里的麦子一般都长得很整齐，所以古人用三棵麦子代表“齐”这个字，齐，表示“同时”、“一样”的意思，也可以表示“一起”。“齐”也是中国人的一个姓。

Because wheat grows orderly in the fields, ancient Chinese used the image of three strands of wheat to form the character “齐,” which means the same, at the same time, or together. “齐” (Qi) is also a Chinese surname.
