The morning radical only occupies the 161st position in the long - character list of traditional radicals , which consists of 214 radicals. It can be found in a completely different place in modern abbreviation dictionaries. In the New Sino-German Dictionary from the People's Republic of China, for example, it is in 187th position.

Guo Moruo , a well-known linguist, analyzed from the oracle bone forms of the sign 辰 that it originally referred to a stone agricultural implement. This connection is also preserved in the symbol for agriculture, at least in the unabridged form: 農 ( Abbreviation : 农). Here 辰 is found as the lower component.

辱 (= shame) originally had the component 耒 plus 辰, plus 寸, a shape of the hand, on the left. The hand is leading an agricultural implement here. For the writing of the fifth heavenly stem, 辰 (chen) was used as a loan symbol. As a component in composite characters, it usually functions as a sound carrier, as in 宸 (chen = big house), 晨 (= morning), 振 (= flutter, shake), 赈 (= materially support someone), 娠 (in: 妊娠 = pregnant) , 蜃 (= shell) and also 唇 (= lip).
