More Decorative In Character:
There is only a rough correspondence between the spoken word and the written character. A character often represents words which have the same sound but different meanings. For example, the character ^ represents two words: wei (not yet) and wei (the first double hour after noon). A much more important divergence between word and character has taken place because the number of characters has been increased to indicate extensions of meaning of what is linguistically the same word. Thus the word yuan, meaning "primary," "original," or "source," for which the same character, 7^ , was used in the ancient texts, has come to Be written with three different characters— 7Q, j^ , and j$jj —for its three meanings.THESE CONTAINERS vary widely in shape and size and the types of plant that suit them. Large Tubs are ideal for shrubs as well as summer-flowering bedding plants and spring-flowering bulbs. Urns are smaller and hold less compost. They are usually more decorative in character and so are perhaps best devoted to summer-flowering plants and displays of bulbs in spring.
Among other activities, the Religious Education Association organizes seminars, round tables, and workshops and holds occasional national conventions: (1) to discuss the theories, philosophy, and methods of religious and character education; (2) to consider ways of enhancing the adequacy and quality of religion in American education through schools, colleges, churches, synagogues, and other agencies; (3) to help leaders of religious and character education to become aware of the findings of research in the pedagogy, psychology, and sociology of religion, theology, and other disciplines, as it bears on religious and character formation ; (4) to stimulate research and experimentation in the entire field of religious and character education.
