The Chinese character 公 (gōng) is composed of two parts: 丷 (gōng) and 厶 (sī). The former is a pictograph of a person standing with two hands raised, representing the idea of "public" or "common". The latter is a pictograph of a nose, representing the idea of "self" or "private". Together, the two parts of 公 form a character that means "public", "common", or "impartial".The character 公 has a long history in Chinese culture. It was first used in the Shang dynasty (c. 1600-1046 BC) to refer to the common people. Over time, it came to be used more broadly to refer to anything that is public or common, such as public property, public office, or public affairs.The character 公 is also used in a number of Chinese idioms and proverbs. For example, the idiom 公私分明 (gōngsī fēnmíng) means "to distinguish between public and private affairs", while the proverb 公道自在人心 (gōngdào zìzài rénxīn) means "justice is in the hearts of the people".The character 公 is a versatile character that can be used in a variety of contexts. It is an important character for HSK learners to know, as it is used frequently in both written and spoken Chinese.
