hand

Origin & mnemonic

This radical originates from an oracle-bone pictograph depicting the human hand with fingers spread open. In seal script, it retains the recognizable shape of a hand with wrist and fingers clearly shown.

Mnemonic: The hand radical's four strokes form the silhouette of a palm, with the horizontal line in the middle like a hand's crease.
