Décomposition du caractère
Ideographic description
⿱日正The sequence reads left to right and describes how the parts are arranged.
- 日meaning partLe soleil, au zénith.
- 正meaning partno entry yet正 zhèng : droit, correct, exactement cela. Le bas de 是 est cet élément dont le dernier trait s’allonge en balayage.
Mnemonic
Le soleil 日 posé sur 正 « droit, correct ». À midi le soleil est exactement au-dessus et rien ne penche : le caractère a d’abord signifié « correct », sens encore audible dans 是的 « c’est cela » et 不是 « ce n’est pas cela ». De « c’est juste » il s’est fixé en simple verbe copule : 我是学生.
