鬼(guǐ)

Ghost

傳說人死了就會變成“鬼”。所以原來的“鬼”字就象一個有可怕腦袋的人。

(chuán shuō rén sǐ le jiù huì biàn chéng guǐ. suǒ yǐ, yuán lái de guǐ zì jiù xiàng shì yí gè yǒu kě pà nǎo dài de rén.)

According to legend, people would turn into ghosts after they passed away. Therefore, the original character for ghost resembles a person with a frightening head.
