Character Story & Explanation
槌 (chuí) means 'mallet' or 'hammer,' often used in traditional Chinese crafts like forging or woodworking. It appears in idioms such as 槌鼓 (beat a drum) and is culturally linked to the 槌球 (croquet). Unlike Western hammers with a distinct handle and head, Chinese mallets are often carved from a single piece of wood.
