The second component or the 元 shows how the first part of the character and the second are separated and far apart, especially walking as the radical signals…

The walking radical represents walking which you would need to do a lot of if something is far away. Well, if not, you could take some sort of transportation method… but that could be expensive, which reminds me of the 元 inside of the walking radical.

The 元 (yuan) on top of the walking radical looks like a person riding a scooter because there is a distance too FAR too walk.

The radical itself means walking. And if you see the character, you will first notice an infinite decimal, π (pi number). If we combine the meaning, it comes to the words like ‘walking infinitely’=far

From the walking radical, you can comprehend the meaning of the character. And you can memorize the pingying by looking at the yuan character. (which is money)

the walking radical looks like a barrier and the yuan on the inside looks like a person, so the person is going far away from the obstacle

The yuan looks like a person and the walking radical looks like an obstacle so the person is trying to get away from it as far as possible

the 元 part of the character helps with the pronunciation of the word as they both have the same pinyin, and the walking radical shows that there is movement, so it helps depict a person walking away, becoming farther and farther away.

the way i memorized 远 is because it has the walk radical and the money character 元 in it. the farther you go, the more money it costs.

the first radical of character has a meaning of walk and second one is one of the radical of gongyuan( park, garden). So I memorize it by imagining walking to park is far

This character looks like the walking radical – a towing truck – is transporting a smaller car somewhere. The road was so FAR, the car wasn’t able to reach the destination without breaking down.

Bottom part has the “walking” radical and on top of it, there is a “yuan” similar to park’s radical so remember it as walking to the park since it is FAR.

yuan means far. Far indicates something in relation to distance to the beginning radical looks like a path the yuan symbol stands on. yuan is money, and I always imagine that money is “far” away, and can only be reached by the path of hard work!

I remember the name of the character by seeing that the Chinese currency name – YUAN(元)is inside the walking radical.
