Mnemonic comic for ⺊

Translation

Character component without intrinsic meaning

Mnemonic

A mnemonic is a short, deliberately ridiculous scene, built to be hard to forget. Who appears in it and where it takes place are how the pronunciation is stored; the objects in it stand for the parts the character is written with. That is the Marilyn Method, and the comic below is the same scene, drawn.

Mnemonic symbol: ⺊ looks a bit like a pennant.

Someone stuck a flute into the middle of a hollow dinosaur bone to conduct studies on the speed of sound. At the one end of the hollow dinosaur bone is an answering pennant, used in the International Signal Code primarily for the reply “signal is received and understood”, which should be raised as soon as the person is hearing the sound made by the flute.

⺊ character breakdown

Chinese characters are built out of smaller characters. Each component carries a mnemonic symbol - one concrete object that stands in for it - and a mnemonic story hands those objects to the person and the place that stand for the pronunciation. Learn a component once and every character that reuses it gets easier.
