A character holds still when two things attach to it: its form — the components it is built from — and a story that makes those components mean something to the person learning it. Every entry here is organized around those two attachments; the rest of the entry supports them.
Each character is broken into its components, and each component is named for the job it does: carrying the meaning（義）, carrying the sound（聲）, or drawing the thing itself（形）. When a sound component's reading has worn away from the character's modern reading, the entry says so as plain fact — 鬼 guǐ → 塊 kuài — because the wear pattern repeats across characters and is itself worth knowing. Components recur: the analysis done once on 艮 pays again in 跟、根、恨、狠.
Each character carries a short scene built from its components. A story is judged by one outcome: the character sticks. A small mark on every story notes whether it is sourced history（字源）or a memory aid（記憶法）— the mark is information, never an apology. When the historical record offers two tellings, the entry tells both.
Every entry carries an English definition and a 簡明中文 definition written within the level's own vocabulary. Reading the Chinese definition is practice in itself; the English one is there when speed matters. Example sentences, audio, and spaced review are in progress — features ship when they're ready, and the front page marks what's built and what's still on the loom.
