Radical 194 , meaning “ demon ”, is one of eight of the 214 traditional radicals in Chinese writing that are written with ten strokes.
With 14 character combinations in Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary, there are few characters that can be found under this radical in the lexicon.
Radikal Demon only occupies 194th 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 Chinese-German Dictionary from the People's Republic of China, for example, it is in 216th position.
In old reference works, the 鬼 radical is to be looked up under 10 lines, because in the upper area (next to the dot line) it consisted of 田 (= field) plus a new line going down to the right. Today this part consists of a 白 (= white) with a vertical line. The component now only consists of 9 lines.
The symbol already appears on the oracle bone and shows a kneeling human with a monster's head sitting on it. The curl with a tail in the first pictograms means the vortex of air that a flying ghost creates. Only later does the sign take on the meaning " ghost, demon " and develop into something terrible. That is why the names for foreigners were formed with 鬼. According to another interpretation, the symbol goes back to a rough drawing of a scarecrow.
Most of the signs ruled by 鬼 have to do with ghosts or the soul such as 魔 (= devil, demon), 魑 (= dark forces), 魂 (= soul), 魄 (= soul, energy). Laut acts as a sound carrier in the characters Marion (傀儡 = puppet), 愧 (惭愧 = to be ashamed), 瑰 (in 瑰丽 = beautiful), 嵬 (in 巍 Als = sublime).
