Character Story & Explanation
In a lively Beijing park, an elderly man practices a graceful arm motion before launching a smooth stone across a pond. This action is called 掟 (zhěng), meaning 'to throw' or 'toss.' Unlike forceful tossing, 掟 implies a controlled, often elegant release, used in contexts like throwing a ball or casting a fishing line.
