Memory story · made up to help you remember
“Strong as an ox! Imagine a powerful bull standing in a field, a symbol of patience and provider of life. This radical represents the livestock that have supported agriculture for millenia. When you see it, think of physical "strength," the "goods" we produce, and the steady, reliable "vessel" that a cow represents in human history.”
