Left: old 古 (image of a tomb stone), right: flesh, body part 月/肉

Like old flesh are the beards of the non-Han people.

胡	beard, non-Han people
古	ancient, old, former	Originally derived from the picture of a skull, hence "old". But the idea of a burial mound is also helpful.
肉	body part	This radical is on the left in compound words and is simplified as "月", which then looks like “moon, month 月”, but still has the meaning “body part”.
