About
The word 方面 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing a spatial metaphor. 方 (fāng) originally depicted two boats tied together, evolving to mean "direction" or "side". 面 (miàn) pictorially represents a face, extending to mean "surface" or "facet". Together, they create a composite image where 面 acts as the "face" or "oriented surface" of a particular 方 "direction" or "side", conceptually yielding the sense of a distinct "aspect" or "respect" from which something is viewed.
