_p explains chinese :: Lesson 4 :: ’spicy’

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

It is about _p’s chinese lesson number 4 … time for something more advanced, something more difficult. So todays character actually derived from the combination of two characters! It’s ’spicy’ … and the character spicy is based on the characters “hot” and “control” …. so how did it come to that?!

If we just think about the two attributes “hot” and “control” it probably wouldn’t cause us too much problems to guess to what the pictures are related…. but see urself:
'spicy'
