轻
qīng
Light bag, light touch, light voice
The picture Put it on one pan of a balance and that pan drifts upward instead. 轻 lets its side float up; 重 drags its side down.

to belittle
别看轻自己。
bié kàn qīng zìjǐ
Don't sell yourself short.
Stepping on your own scale and deliberately reading the number low
看轻 has set into 'to look down on'
All of it in one picture
轻 is the state of having almost no downward pull. None in the hand and the bag is light; none in the pressing hand and the touch is gentle; none on the body and the wound needs only a plaster; none in the voice and you speak quietly; none on the scale you weigh yourself on and you sell yourself short.
