The story of 顓

good, simple

顓 is composed of耑(the picture of long hair and long beard) and頁(the picture of a human head). An elder male has long hair and long beard, ancient China is an androcentric society, elder males are respected, so they need to be respectful. In addition, respectfulness is decided by someone’s facial expression, facial expression can only be seen on head, so 顓 has the meaning of respectfulness and concentration.
