Write “海”(sea) in Chinese character

海（hǎi）

字形：

“海”是由“水”和“每”组成的字。“每”在上古时期，用来指氏族社会中年龄最长、生育儿孙最多的女性。把“水”和“每”放在一起就表示“海”指水最多的地方。

The character “海” is composed of “氵” (indicating water) and “每”. “每” was referred to female who was the oldest and had the most offspring in ancient society. Thus, by combining “氵” and “每” together,  “海”indicates the place with the most water.
