"法," the Chinese character for law, is composed of "水" meaning water and "去" meaning to go or leave. Some people interpret it as meaning that the law flows through the world in an orderly manner, similar to the flow of water. However, that's not the case. In ancient China during the Yao-Shun era, there was a mythical creature called Haechi.
(Excerpt) Haechi is an animal symbolizing water. That's right. The Chinese character "法," which consists of "水" (water) and "去" (to go), doesn't mean flowing like water in a peaceful way but rather implies Haechi, a mythical creature punishing evildoers.
