REMMBERING KANJI - PART 4lesson 16 157 sincerity 363 ¼ The sure sign of sincerity is that one’s mere words are turned into deeds. [13] ãä * march R As distinct from the parade, the march points to a formal demonstration, whose emotions are generally a far cry from the happy spirit of the parade. The inclusion of the one gives the sense of the singlemindedness and unity of the group joined in the march. As was the case with parade, the primitive inside the enclosure indicates who or what is marching. [6] åæçèéê intimidate 364 X Here we see a march of women demonstrating on behalf of equal rights, something extremely intimidating to the male chauvinist population. [9] ñòó destroy 365 n Picture a march of µames demonstrating against the Fire Depart- ment for their right to destroy, but being doused with water by the police riot squads. [13] ö÷øù158 Remembering the Kanji dwindle 366 ç A group of unquenchable mouths sets out on a march across the country, drinking water wherever they ³nd it until the water supply has dwindled to a trickle, triggering a national disaster. [12] –—˜™ * µoat G The µoats that are such an important part of a ³esta are shown here by the addition of the two extra horizontal strokes, which you may take as a quasi-pictographic representation of the platform structure of a µoat. [6] GHIJKL scaffold 367 ` Prior to the use of metal, trees were once cut down and bound together for use as scaffolding material. In the case of this kanji, what is being constructed is not a skyscraper but a sim- ple µoat. [10] úû coin 368 , Those special gold-colored tokens minted each year for the Mardi Gras and thrown into the crowds from people on the µoats give us the kanji for coins. [14] üýlesson 17 159 shallow 369 ò An entourage of µoats going from one town to the next must always seek a shallow place to cross the water. Try to picture what happens if they don’t. [9] () Lesson 17Because of the rather special character of that last group of primitives (7in all), it might be a good idea not to rush too quickly into this lesson untilyou are sure you have them all learned and ³tted out with good images.Now we will take up another set of primitives built up from a commonbase, though fewer in number and lacking the similarity of meaning we sawin the last lesson. stop 370 Œ The character for stop is easiest to learn as a pictograph, though you have to take a moment to see it. Take it as a rather crude drawing of a footprint: the ³rst 3 strokes represent the front of the foot and the last the heel. The big toe (stroke 2 sticking out to the right) on the right indicates that this is a left foot. [4] *+,/ * Although the meaning of stop will be retained, we will return often to the pictographic meaning of footprint.160 Remembering the Kanji walk 371 Ÿ Footprints that follow one another a few at a time indicate walking. [8] 01234567 ford 372 Í To ford a body of water means to walk across it. [11] BCD repeatedly 373 ü The image of something occurring repeatedly, over and over again, is of ha ...
