zhèn

Explanation

 Left: body 月/肉, right: to close 关 (The mountain pass 丷 in the sky 天 is closed.)

Radicals

朕 We (imperial)
肉 body partThis radical is on the left in compound words and is simplified as "月", which then looks like “moon, month 月”, but still has the meaning “body part”.
丷 coming outThis component is often understood as "something coming out", such as steam.
关 to closeThe meaning is actually “to close”. But also: pass summit or mountain pass. The pass is already in “heaven” 天, but from there it goes higher, because otherwise it wouldn't be a pass. And (due to the weather) a pass can be closed.
