PLOCK

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:

… well since the pictures still in work… i think it’s about the time for a new chinese character… i hoped everybody trained the two previous by hard…

however this one is quite obvious… probably even without my drawings everybody can still recognize what this character is supposed to mean… “listen”

i just recognized it’s time for another chinese lesson … so again… a very usefull character. in case the food in a chinese restaurant is not satisfying or the tea is cold or the taxi driver pretends not to understand where we want to go, then we just draw this one for “violence”

the origin is as shown quite easy to get and to remember:

Now I finally got a multiple entry visa for china … YEAH!!! So now i have something I can do on the weekends…. however the short trip to shenzen in china last weekend reminded me of something so called culture…. and I thought I should promote more chinese culture in my plock.

So from now on, I will introduce some chinese characters from time to time. And I will explain from what kind of pictures the nowadays character has derived originally…..

Well, the true explanations are often very complicated and confusing, so I decided to find my own explanations. I’m sure everybody was just waiting for me to do this …. so the first lesson is showing the very important character for “wine” … basically this character can be used for most alcoholic beverages, which makes it even easier and more usefull:
