Character Story:Originally depicting two men standing with their backs to one another, the old character carried the meaning of “at the back” or “to turn one’s back on” something. Later as most Chinese homes faced the south direction, the north portion became by default the “back” and gradually the meaning changed to “North”. Study vocab here!
