凶
How to pronounce 凶
MandarinBanana teaches pronunciation with the Marilyn Method: every Pinyin syllable is one initial plus one final, the initial becomes a person, an animal or a deity, and the final becomes a place in your memory palace — with the tone deciding which part of that place the scene happens in. Remember the little story below for each half and the whole syllable comes back with them.
凶 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.

The vicious demon mask is a snarling, demonic face mask carved from weathered, blood-red cinnabar wood, featuring exaggerated cheekbones and a deep, furrowed brow. The mask is dominated by four curved, ivory-colored tusks protruding from a wide, toothy maw and two vacant eye sockets that glow with a faint, internal amber light. Long strands of coarse black horsehair are attached to the crown, falling over the temples and framing the jagged, obsidian horns that sprout from the forehead.
