Origin & mnemonic

This radical originates from a pictograph of the moon in oracle-bone and seal script. The image was gradually simplified into a rectangle with a horizontal stroke in the middle, representing the bright face of the moon.

Mnemonic: Picture a simple rectangle with a line across the middle—that is the moon glowing round and bright in the sky.
