Wisdom - Chih

The character for ‘wisdom’ is a complex one with a simple message. Above is the word ‘knowledge’ formed by a combination of ‘oath’ on the left and the small, squared- off pictogram for ‘mouth’ or ‘spoken’ on the right; what we swear to in words, we know to be true. Below ‘knowledge’ is the character for ‘sun’. Wisdom: the knowledge that spreads and enlightens like the sun’s rays, benefitting the world at large.
