"南"(nán) was originally the name of a musical instrument. The ancient character "南" was the pictograph of this kind of musical instrument. The upper part of the character was like a hanging rope and the lower part was the image of this musical instrument. "南" was later borrowed to indicate the direction of south. Then the original meaning of "南" gradually disappeared.
