Chinese characters

• 雨（yǔ, rain）：The horizontal line of this character indicates the sky. The dots represent the rain drops.
• 气（qì, air）：It refers to the air, so 天气（tiānqì） means “weather”.
• 冷（lěnɡ, cold）：The left two dots refer to the ice that is melting, so the two dots represent coldness. The right part 令（lìng, order）stands for the pronunciation.
• 喜（xǐ, happy）：This character looks like a smiling mouth under a drum, so it is related to happiness.
• 病（bìnɡ, sick）：The outside part is the radical, meaning “being sick”. The inner part stands for the pronunciation.
