measuring cup

Mnemonic


Imagine taking a large 十 cross and placing a bunch of 冫 ice in one of the corners, to measure how much 冫 ice you have. This is but a primitive 斗 measuring cup. You can also picture the two 冫 ice strokes as being abstract measuring lines, while the 十 cross being an abstract outline of the 斗 measuring cup.
