About
评 (simplified from 評) is a phono-semantic compound. The left side, 讠, simplified from the speech radical 言 (yán), marks the character's connection to verbal expression. On the right, 平 (píng, "flat, level, fair") provides the sound and subtly suggests impartiality or bringing things to a level state. The character means to appraise, evaluate, or judge something's merits and flaws, whether spoken or written. Throughout its history, 评 has been used for literary criticism, grading academic work, commenting on social affairs, reviewing products, and fairly arbitrating between differing viewpoints.
