About

The Chinese word "价值" is formed by combining the character "价", meaning "price", which itself consists of the radical "人" (person) on the left and the component "介" on the right, with the character "值", meaning "worth", composed similarly with the radical "人" on the left and the component "直" on the right; together, these characters semantically unite to express the concept of "value" as in measurable worth or importance.
