The left part is GRAINs that a person on the right side of the character grew – it was a long “journey”!

Journey is like a plant – you grow a grain by presenting(cheng, that is actually mouth + ruler/king) your journey to a friend.

Because this character contains the characters grain, mouth and king, it makes me think of the way grain goes through the government to get to people’s mouths. It’s the JOURNEY of a countries food system.

The grain radical is the same height as the 2nd component of this character, which kind of looks like a person. I’m sure the process of the grain growing to this height was a long journey for the plant, and the person growing it.
