One character a day, it is easy to master Chinese characters day by day. Let’s take a look at the basic knowledge of “力”.
| 力 lì | |
| Explanation: power; strength | |
| Phrases: 力量（lì liànɡ） physical strength;power;force ； 力图（lì tú） try hard to;strive to | |
| 在甲骨文里，“力”字就像古时的犁（ ），而象形字的“力”也可以用作动词“耕”的意思。这个字告诉我们：农耕是需要力气的。 | |
| From the oracle bones we can see that the original form of （ ） is like an ancient plough; the upper part, which curves at the bottom, is the wooden handle of a plough, and the lower part is its iron head. 力 is a pictogragh of a plough and was used as the verb “to plough a field”. Since ploughing the field requires strength, 力 then was used to express the meaning “force”, “power” or “strength”. | |
