One character a day, easy to master Chinese characters. Let's take a look at the basic knowledge of "安".

 

安 ān  
Expansion：peaceful; quiet; calm
Phrases：安静(ān jìng) quiet  安全(ān quán) safe
“安”（ ）字的外面（ ）是一间屋子，屋里有一个弯着腰的女子（ ）。以前，人们认为女人留在家中料理一切事物，就会有安定的生活。
This character （ ）is comprised of two parts: the outer portion is a house （ ）. Inside the house there is a bowing woman （ ） facing toward the left. “A woman stays inside the house” has long been considered the condition of peace, the earliest known meaning of this particular pictograph.
