About
帅 is the simplified form of the traditional character 帥. The traditional form depicts two hands pulling a long, vertical object, which gave rise to early meanings like pulling with a rope or a belt-like garment. The right component 巾 (cloth) may reflect the garment interpretation, or a general's banner. Over time, the meaning shifted to "to lead" and "commander", becoming the title for high-ranking military leaders. In modern slang, 帅 also describes a man as handsome. The simplified 帅 retains the cloth radical 巾 on the right, while the left side is reduced to a vertical stroke crossed by a horizontal stroke.
