Character Story & Explanation
While walking through an ancient village in southern China, you notice the graceful curved roofs of traditional homes. The projecting eaves are supported by horizontal beams called 梠 (lǚ), which distribute the roof's weight and create shaded walkways. Though less common in modern buildings, this character appears in classical texts about architecture, reflecting the ingenuity of Chinese carpentry.
