Radicals

earth, ground
correct, right
sun, dayThis radical was developed from a circle with a central dot as the image of the sun. As you can hardly draw circles or dots with a brush, it became the current rectangular shape.
correctRadical 103 stands for clothing or bales of cloth. In the Hanzi-Trainer, it is used synonymously with the correct , because it seems helpful for the explanations and the interpretation clothing/cloth bale would be in conflict with other radicals.
