This character has two main signs of its meaning: 心 (xīn) — heart and 友 (yǒu) — friend. When you bring a real friend close to your heart means love. Beautiful, isn't it?

It’s hard to believe but in Chinese home is home if we see a “pig” (豕) under the roof (宀). Actually, a pig is a symbol of wealth and prosperity. The idea comes from the household culture people had many years ago. According to their belief, the families who could afford to raise pigs in their backyards and barns were rich.
There is no light without darkness. This philosophy reflects the character 明. 日 (rì) represents the Sun and 月 (yuè) is the Moon. The same idea of enlightenment creates the word 明白 (míngbai) — to understand.
In Chinese, the character 女 (nǚ) represents women and femininity. As you already know from the description above this 宀(mián) means roof. The idea of the word is quite controversial though. From one side the peace comes to a home where the woman is taking care of its coziness. On the other hand, it may also show the idea of “women belong to the kitchen”.
This word combines 2 characters: 女 (nǚ) — a woman and 子 (zǐ) — a child. When a woman and a child stay together means that everything is good. This character is also a part of “hello” in Chinese — 你好.
