Pictograph of a deer.
About
鹿 originated as a pictograph visually depicting a deer’s antlers, head, body, and legs. In its standard form, the top stylizes the antlers and head, while the bottom represents the legs and torso. The character has consistently denoted the animal itself. Due to the deer’s stature and its role as a prized game animal, it occasionally appears in classical texts as a metaphor for political power or the throne, the ultimate prize sought by ambitious rulers during conflicts.
