A single horizontal stroke symbolizes the number one, the beginning of all things.
A person standing straight like a stroke in a ledger is an individual.
A human heart carrying autumn sorrow like falling leaves wilts the mind with melancholy.
A child born under a roof and learning to speak gives rise to written characters.
An image of a curled-up baby suggests completeness and ending.
Walking out at dawn and reaching out your hand to grasp what you want — that is obtaining it.
