Cultural note

In Chinese culture, mountains are often seen as symbols of strength and stability, and they frequently appear in poetry and art. The concept of a mountain range can evoke feelings of majesty and reverence for nature.

Memory tip

Imagine a 'liang' of mountains stretching across the horizon, with each peak resembling a brick ('增' - zēng) stacked upon the other, forming a solid wall of nature. The visual of these 'bricks' can help you remember both the character and its pronunciation.
