About
闾 (traditional form 閭) consists of the gate radical 门 and the phonetic component 吕. The gate radical signifies a dwelling or entrance, while 吕 suggests sequence or arrangement. Historically, it referred to the gate of a village or an administrative unit of twenty-five families, and its meaning expanded to include the village itself or the common people living there. The character's structure underscores the gate as the threshold that defines a social group and the collective identity of those within.
