About

The word "天真" is formed by directly combining the character "天", meaning heaven or sky, which conveys a sense of naturalness or purity, with the character "真", meaning true or genuine, to create a compound where the combined semantic contribution of both characters yields the meaning of innate genuineness or unsophisticated truthfulness, hence expressing the concept of naivety or innocence.
