Hanzi-Trainer
 

Meaning

government, morning, audience, pilgrimage

Pronunciation

cháo, zhāo

Explanation

Left: sunrise (The sun rises between plants .) [Sunset is: ], right: moon

Mnemonic

At sunrise, when the moon is still there, it is the morning [zhāo] and I make a pilgrimage to the government [cháo].

Radicals

the morning(sunrise with the sun)
sun rise(The sun rises between plants . The very similar radical stands for sunset. This seems bizarre, can be argued based on the characters for morning in comparison to evening 暮.)
moon, month(When it is at the left in the character then often with the meaning "body part". If at the right, then as "moon, month, period".)
sun rise(sun over the horizon)
Tip: Go to the radicals that are contained in this character and learn all the characters with this radical systematically!
