"Silence ~ There is a newborn baby is sleeping with arms that stretch up! “
 

In pictogram子 zĭ, depicted a newborn baby with legs wrapped in swaddling clothes which respects Chinese tradition to give a newborn baby security. This character means "child or baby," with whom you can form words of 孩子Háizi bambino o 兒子 Érzi figlio.

 Some other common words are:

弟子 dìzǐ  discepolo

孫子 sūnzi   grandson 

西瓜子 xīguā zǐ  watermelon

 

Derivation 1. 好 hǎo, good

"It's nice to see a mom and a baby loving each other!"

The right side is the radical女 nǚ a woman, on the left side is子 zĭ a child. All this represents a happy mom with her baby held in arms. Character好 hǎo , could mean good or nice, which can be explained with Chinese culture.

 

In Chinese culture thinks that a family is good if you have sons and daughters, as children represent the continuation of existence and happiness of a family.


One good thing, is described by the Chinese as好hǎ. For example, in China people greet each other with the words你好嗎 nĭ hǎo ma? "Are you all right ?" One possible answer could be我很好 wŏ hĕn hǎo “I am fine.”


A pictogram that is often found in association with another one to form a bisilabi meaning much clearer, for example美好 Měi hǎ nice, as you can see in the picture, "it's nice to love each other.”
