Character:
Method: the Internet
Findings: It shows a person
in a profile, standing upright
with arms hanging down. In
another interpretation a person
is marching with two legs.
The character, often in a
slender form, appears in many
composite characters: with a
tree 休 xiu (rest), a person resting
against a tree; with a
mountain 仙 xian
(hermit or immortal),
a person secluded in a
mountain.
Conclusion: People in
ancient china combined
two or more elements
together when they wanted
to express their ideas.
A possible example:
