德
dé
variant of 德[de2]
Walking (彳) + straight gaze (十罒一) + heart (心) = moral virtue
The left side 彳 suggests moving through the world, while 十, 罒, and 一 together form an older graphic suggesting a straight, watchful gaze. The heart 心 at the bottom grounds it all: virtue is moral clarity carried in the heart as you walk through life.
他是一个有德的人，大家都尊重他。
tā shì yī gè yǒu dé de rén, dà jiā dōu zūn zhòng tā。
He is a person of virtue; everyone respects him.
做人要注重品德，不能只看重钱财。
zuò rén yào zhù zhòng pǐn dé, bù néng zhǐ kàn zhòng qián cái。
In life one must pay attention to moral character and not only value money.
