Memory story · made up to help you remember
“Someone is kneeling before a high authority! This radical represents respect, social standing, and the official stamps that mark a person's role in society. When you see it, think of a person in a specific position, the weight of a decree, or the "seals" of approval used to govern and organize a civilization.”
Where it sits in a kanji
Indicates social status, markers of authority (seals), kneeling/sitting postures, or the concept of a specific "joint" or "section" (like a knee).
