王朝 imperial court;dynasty  王国 kingdom
在“人”的上下都加一上笔,本来张开的双腿也合起来,变成一条直线,就构成了“王”字。人们常说三条横线分别代表天、地、人,要是能身体力行把人、天、地贯通起来,就是“王”。在“人”的上下都加一上笔,本来张开的双腿也合起来,变成一条直线,就构成了“王”字。人们常说三条横线分别代表天、地、人,要是能身体力行把人、天、地贯通起来,就是“王”。

王 is formed by adding a horizontal stroke under the “person” ( )and another horizontal stroke above the “person”( ). As the two “legs” of the “person” close together, they become a vertical stroke. It is said that the three horizontal stokes represent the heaven, the earth, and the person. The person who could join the three together is the king.
