Radical 191 or radical fight (鬥部) meaning "fight" is one of the 8 Kangxi radicals (214 radicals in total) composed of 10 strokes.

In the Kangxi Dictionary, there are 23 characters (out of 49,030) to be found under this radical.[1]

鬥 is also the 190th indexing component in the Table of Indexing Chinese Character Components predominantly adopted by Simplified Chinese dictionaries published in mainland China. However, this radical character 鬥 and former radical 169 門 "door" were merged to 门 during the simplification. 鬥 is therefore no longer in use in Simplified Chinese and is retained as an indexing component only for historical reasons.
