Dry

Mnemonic

This looks like a clothesline pole you would dry clothes on. It's got two very straight horizontal poles, for maximum drying efficiency. If you were gonna dry your clothes, you'd dry them on this thing.

Don't confuse this with 千 (thousand), where the top line curves down. 千 would be impossible to dry clothes on, because they'd slide right off!
