Radical 79 , meaning “ halberd , lance ”, is one of the 34 traditional radicals in Chinese writing , which consist of four strokes.

With 16 combinations of characters in Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary , it is very rare in the dictionary.

This old bamboo weapon became a work tool with a curved handle that was used to carry loads. As a single character, 殳 was only used very rarely, and it soon mutated into a radical . It is hardly known with its pronunciation shū. To describe it, the designation of its two more well-known components 又 (you) and 几 (ji) is used: 几 又 边 (jiyou bian = jiyou side part).

殳 always stands on the right in the compound symbol: 殴 (= hit), 殷 (= dark red) and, as a bearer of meaning, creates the meaning field of hand movement with a device as in 投 (= throw, hurl), 役 (= work, service, with the components彳 chì for movement and 殳 shū, the hand with the weapon). The real meaning of 役 is therefore: battle, campaign.
