Cultural note

The concept of raised paths or bridges has historical significance in China, often reflecting ancient engineering skills and the importance of connectivity in rural and urban settings.

Memory tip

Imagine a bridge (the character's meaning) that is raised above the ground, supported by sturdy earth (土). The top part resembles a roof (衤), giving you a visual of a structure that shelters a path below, just like a bridge does. Remember 'yǒng' sounds like 'young', visualize a young person crossing a bridge.
