Nintendao Posted 27 minutes ago (edited) The character for Xìng 性 Life is made up of the radical for xīn 心 heart, and shēng 生 birth (depicted by a plant sprouting from the earth.) For Mìng 命 Destiny the two kǒu 口 mouths are proclaiming lìng 令 decrees (depiction of placing a seal onto a document.) https://www.zhongwen.com Edited 15 minutes ago by Nintendao 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
