About
The character for 'cheek' in Chinese, traditionally written as 頰, is etymologically constructed from the component 頁, which signifies matters related to the head, combined with 夾, an element that implies being flanked or situated between two sides, thus directly illustrating the cheek's position on the face. This structural composition, where form mirrors meaning, has ensured the character's core definition remained consistently tied to the lateral part of the head throughout its historical usage. The modern simplified form 颊 maintains this intrinsic relationship, utilizing the streamlined components 页 and 夹 to convey the same conceptual idea of a feature bordered on either side of the facial structure.
