Étymologie et composants

The Chinese character 脸 (liǎn) for "face" is composed of two parts: 目 (mù) for "eye" and 页 (yè) for "page" or "leaf". The combination of these two components suggests the idea of "seeing" or "looking at" something, which is closely related to the concept of "face". In ancient Chinese, the character 脸 was used to refer to the front of the head, including the eyes, nose, and mouth. Over time, its meaning expanded to include the entire face and its expressions, which convey emotions and communicate social cues. The character 脸 also carries cultural and symbolic meanings, representing concepts such as honor, reputation, and social standing in Chinese society.
