是
|
correct, right | |
|
日
|
sun, day | This radical was developed from a circle with a central dot as the image of the sun. As you can hardly draw circles or dots with a brush, it became the current rectangular shape. |
|
正
|
correct | Radical 103 疋 stands for clothing or bales of cloth. In the Hanzi-Trainer, it is used synonymously with the correct 正, because it seems helpful for the explanations and the interpretation clothing/cloth bale would be in conflict with other radicals. |
