character | Explanation |
---|---|
刃 | Cutting edge |
切 | to cut |
券 | Admission ticket |
In the case of an admission ticket, the connection only becomes clear when you hold an admission ticket in front of your eyes: It consists of two sections that are cut apart for validation. The variant in the upper part of the symbol 负 (= to carry something on your back), which is also described as a diagonal knife (撇 刀头) because of its similarity to 刀, although the component is often a modified form of the human being 人, is also considered a knife ( Radical 9 ) is. Sometimes the “oblique knife” also stands for radical 87 , the claw 爪, as in the abbreviation 争 (= fight). Some of today's "oblique knives" are also derived from the shape of the head of animals, such as:
- 象 (= elephant),
- 兔 (= rabbit) and
- 龟 (= turtle, shortened, actually: 龜).
Often, however, they are neither knives, nor claws nor people, but only general components of shortened characters such as 刍 (= hay).
In addition, the character 刀 in 叨 (= babble) and in 召 (= call) has the function of a sound carrier.
