Compositions

Explanation of characters by Herbert A. Giles

Ch'i is composed of four 口 k'ou mouths with 犬 ch'üan dog in the middle. It originally meant receptacles for food etc., the mouths of which are represented as guarded by a dog. It also means anything which can be put to some definite use. Confucius said 君子不器 chün tzŭ pu ch'i the superior man is not a thing, i.e. of restricted use; mathematically, he is not a function of one variable but of many.
