The Shuōwén Seal form of 重(𡍴) zhòng ‘thick/heavy’ (厚重) is said to combine 𡈼(𡔛) tǐng ‘stand upright’ (under a burden), and 東 dōng ‘east (sunrise; rise/raise)’ (phonosemantic); in the old forms the phonetic component 東 is wr. in the middle of 𡈼(𡔛).
    Note: The Seal form of 重(𡍴) suggests a 人 ‘person’ above, and 土 ‘earth’ (gravity) below; a person being weighed on a balance, or a 童 child playing on a seesaw (跷跷板) with 田 central fulcrum; cf. 童.
    Compare: 量(𨤦) liáng ‘weigh’, combining 重(𡍴) zhòng (abbrev.), and 日 (an object being weighed in a balance) for 曏 xiàng (abbrev. phonosemantic).
    Compare: 童 tóng ‘child’, in which 重 (abbrev. phonosemantic); for 重/童 component variation, cf. 衝(𧘂) chōng ‘thoroughfare’, 鍾/鐘.
    Compare: 重 zhòng ‘heavy’, vs. 轻/輕 qīng ‘light (carriage)’.
    Compare: 动/動 dòng ‘move’ (with 重 phonetic); 车/車 chē ‘cart/car’ (車 is similar to the middle of 重).
    Note: The modern 重 zhòng/chóng distinction, evident in MC (SBGY), is said to be absent in OC (DYC, GSR); SBGY records a 3rd old reading also merged in 重 zhòng; also 重 tóng, for 穜 and 童 (HDZ).
    “[重] The ancient characters represent round or flat weights piled up on a kind of support” —Wieger.
    “[重] The small seal has 人 (rén) at the top, 土 (tǔ) at the bottom and 東 (dōng) phonetic in the middle; this is not original, for an older form is simply a picture of a weighing-machine, see WIEGER” —Karlgren(AD).
