Radical face increases only in the traditional characters - list of traditional radicals consisting of 214 radicals, the 176th position. 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 second place, under a completely different radical.
The character developed from the pictorial representation of a human face in which the eyes can be seen. There is a modern version with a square - symbol for "mouth" - inside the frame; although this character requires one less dash, it is also counted among those with nine dashes.
The face is very important to the Chinese. “Giving someone a face” means respecting someone's social position. “To lose face” means to be despised.
