Cultural Note

Memory Tip

Imagine a knight (the concept of 甹) riding a horse made of jade (the radical '王' suggests nobility). The character's form can remind you of a knight in shining armor, galloping into battle. The 'p' in pīng can be linked to the galloping sound of hooves, making it easier to remember both the sound and meaning.
