A way to remember it
A cut of meat with the grain of the muscle running through it. Beside another character it becomes 月, which is why 脸, 肚 and 胖 look as though they contain a moon but do not.
A picture that makes the shape stick — not a claim about the character’s history.
Draft — written with AI help and not yet read by a person. What that means.
Got it. Tell someone:
meat
ròu — meat
