Memory story · made up to help you remember
“Peel it back! This radical represents the protective surface of our world—the skin on our bodies, the thick hide of a beast, and even the rough bark of a tree. When you see it, think of protection, organic layers, leatherwork, and the superficial beauty of the surface. It is the radical of the master tanner, the skilled surgeon, and the sharp-tongued wit who cuts through the "skin" to find the truth.”
