know, wisdom
知 centers on having knowledge or understanding: knowing facts, possessing wisdom, and being aware.
知 combines 矢 (arrow) and 口 (mouth), likely suggesting swift or precise speech as a metaphor for knowledge. The exact historical development is uncertain.
An arrow 矢 flying from a mouth 口 represents knowledge being shared quickly and accurately. When you know something, you can speak it as fast as an arrow.
For チ, imagine a wise person pointing at their cheek while sharing knowledge: cheek -> チ, and the wisdom comes from their mouth.
