About
The character 拳 is a phono-semantic compound. Its bottom component is the hand radical 手, which indicates the meaning relates to the hand or manual actions. The upper part, 龹 (quán), serves as the phonetic element and also suggests a semantic nuance of curling or rolling inward, as seen in the related character 卷. Together, these elements depict the action of curling the fingers inward to form a solid striking tool, the fist. This character forms the basis for terms related to hand-to-hand combat, such as in boxing or traditional martial arts.
