Chinese characters

• 往（wǎng, towards）：The left part is the radical related to roads or walking. The right part is 主（zhǔ, host）, but the pronounciation of 往（wǎng, towards）comes from 王（wánɡ）.
• 远（yuǎn, far）：The outside radical means walking and movement. The inner part 元（yuán, current unit;origin）stands for their pronunciation, but the tone is different.
• 近（jìn, close）：This character shares the same radical with 远（yuǎn, far）. The inner part 斤（jīn, catty）stands for their pronunciation, but the tone is changed into the forth tone.
• 看（kàn, to look; to watch）：This character combines 手（shǒu, hand） on top and 目（mù, eyes） on the bottom. 看（kàn, to look; to watch） originally means to look from a distance with a hand above your eyes.
• 坐（zuò, to sit）：As this character shows, the two persons are sitting on the ground face to face.
