There is an animal that has 4 legs when it is young, 2 legs when it grows up, and 3 legs when it grows old. Can you guess what it is? The answer is 人. So our word of this week is 

人 – ‘people’.

Pronunciation

人 is pronounced rén.

Meaning:

This word was first seen in the Oracle bone script(甲骨文Jiǎ gǔ wén)in the Shang Dynasty.  Its original meaning is a life that can create, can use tools for labor and can use language for thinking and communication, in a word – people.

The character 人(rén) looks like a person walking. It is impossible to walk with two legs at the same time. Therefore, the character “人”(rén) is designed to have a long stroke and a short stroke.

Example:

大人(dà rén )

Adults or the old honorific name for officials.

小人(xiǎo rén )

Refers to despicable person

大人不记小人过(dà rén bú jì xiǎo rén guò)

A great man rarely stoops to pettiness or harbors grievance for past wrongs.
