The character developed from the pictorial representation of a rice field seen from above, bordered by small dams that separate the irrigated beds and serve as a field path for the farmers. In all writing forms from the oracle bones to the bronze script and seal script to the chancellery script and the normal script used today, an almost unchanged character.

The symbols governed by this radical as a bearer of meaning belong in agriculture, such as 亩 (mu = area measure), 町 (ting = field border), 甸 (dian = area outside a border). The sign for man 男 (nan) is the combination of field (田 tian) and strength (力 li), so it describes someone who works physically with the use of force in the field. The field also appears as a bearer of meaning in 畜 (= cattle) and ursprünglich (lü = scarce, short, but originally: manage soil).

However, 田 (tian) can also be a sound carrier, as in 钿 (tian coin, money), 畋 (tian go hunting). The head component of the characters 畏 (white = fear) and 禺 (yu = monkey in classical scripts) emerged from a similar component. 田 (tian) in 胃 (wei = stomach) was created from a picture that shows food in a stomach and also has nothing to do with the field. This also applies to 番 (fen = a counting word), which originally referred to the claws of a wild animal. The head part of the sign was a 爪 (zhua = claw) with the palm 掌 (zhang) underneath.
