Chinese Keystrokes 2

This is the second word " Yi" means “Righteousness”. A virtue held highly in Confucian Teaching. Among the Chinese Triads, members can be killed for not upholding this, although its meaning was totally misconstrued. Many Chinese Sword-Fighting movies depicted this value in their story lines. In its original intention, it was understood as a standing in the eyes of society.

There are two elements in this word. The top element is the word “Lamb”.

The lower element is the word “Myself”.

How on earth did the ancient Chinese used these two elements to form the word “Righteousness” beats me. Moreover why not arrange the elements as side by side instead of a top and bottom arrangement? It has the connotation that righteousness is having a lamb over me; some sort of covering.

In the Bible in 2 Corinthians 5:21 it says that 'For He has made Him who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.'

So it implies that for one to be deemed righteous, one needed the covering of 'The Lamb' and Jesus Christ is called The Lamb of God! Coincidence again?
