      The Chinese Radicals Series is not just to motivate our students to take a keen interest in learning Chinese, but also provide you a link between the language and the culture so that our students will not only know the meanings of the characters or the common phrases in which they appear but also the cultural context of the characters.

      Today, we are going to learn the basic radical 比bǐ, it’s called bǐ zì tóur in the Chinese term.

      The ancient character for the word 比bǐ depicts two people standing close together, one in front, the other behind. Thus, the word 比bǐ means “to compare”.

      For example, 比较 (bǐ jiào, to compare) and 比美 (bǐ měi, “to be of comparable standards”).


      The word also conveys the meaning of “competition”, for example 比赛 (bǐ sài, competition), 比试 (bǐ shì, to compete) and 比武 (bǐ wǔ, compete in martial arts).


      However, two people that are close together can also be plotting something or doing something illegal. So, the word in the phrase 朋比为奸 (péng bǐ wéi jiān) means “conspire” or “collude”.


      As a component in word formation, 比 bǐ is often used im indicate pronunciation, for example, 毕 (bì, to finish/graduate),毗 (pí, adjoin),毙 (bì, dead).
