About
The character 斗 combines two originally distinct characters. Historically, 斗 depicted a ladle or dipper, serving as a unit of dry measure for grain and lending its name to the Big Dipper constellation. The traditional character 鬥 represented fighting or contending, illustrating two figures in combat. In modern usage, 斗 retains both the dipper/measure meaning and the fighting sense of 鬥.
