跟我学汉字：寒（hán）

字形：

 “寒”的古体字中的“宀”是屋顶，表示房子，下边的部分像人围着干草，底部的两点表示冰块，整个字像一个人住在一间堆满干草的屋里以避寒的样子。这个字用外面冰天雪地、人在屋内草垫上取暖，来表示寒冷的意思。

The upper part of the ancient character "寒" was "宀", which represented a house. The lower part of the character looked like a person surrounded by hays, and the two dots at the bottom of the character indicated ice. This character carried the meaning of coldness by depicting a scene where a person kept warm by sitting on hays in a room while it was icy cold outside.
