Generation
If you look at this radical, you’ll notice that the inner piece built onto the ground radical and the outer piece, also built onto the ground are kind of the same… except, the outer piece isn’t completely finished yet. The middle bit is all done, and they’re the center. The second layer currently being formed is the next generation. Surely, there will be even another generation going around the second layer (when it’s done) and another and another later on.
