Top: sitting person 匕, bottom: sun 日

If sb. sits above the sun, he can issue orders and decrees.

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.
匕	spoon, ladle	In the explanations this radical is also used as a sitting person. (Further radicals with „person“ are: sitting cross-legged 夂, lying , kneeling ⺈, skilled 才, bending マ,卩, slumped 㔾 or husband 夫)
