In this episode, we take the Chinese character yún (cloud) as the starting point, to explore how the ancient Chinese created characters based on the world around them. We will talk about how the two natural features of clouds—layering and curling—evolved into a series of related characters: from "yún (cultivate)" to "céng (layer)", from "tán (wine jar)" to "hún (soul)". We also explore the origin of characters like "tǔ (land)", "shè (society)", "zuò (sit)", "xiǎo (small)" and "shǎo (few)", and share the ancient farming culture hidden in the classic Chinese saying "No pains, no gains". It's a perfect episode for Chinese learners to understand how ancient Chinese built their whole character system from a simple drawing of clouds.


云	yún	Cloud	甲骨文就是古人画的云的形象，上半部分代表云的分层，下半部分代表云的卷曲
耘	yún	Cultivate	云 + 古代农具 “耒”，代表在田里分层翻土，就是 “耕耘” 的含义
层	céng	Layer	来自云的分层的含义，用来形容分层的事物，比如楼层、千层蛋糕
坛	tán	Jar/Altar	云 + 土，来自云的卷曲的含义，形容卷曲形状的酒坛子
魂	hún	Soul	云 + 鬼，古人认为灵魂像云一样卷曲飘着，所以用云来造这个字
土	tǔ	Land/Soil	古人眼中凸起的土堆，是古代农业社会的根本
社	shè	Society	土 + 祭祀的 “示”，古人祭祀土地神的地方，后来引申出 “社会” 的含义
坐	zuò	Sit/Because	原本的古意是 “因为”，和土地神有关，后来才慢慢变成了 “坐下” 的意思
小	xiǎo	Small	来自土堆上的小尘土颗粒，引申出 “大小小” 的含义
少	shǎo	Few/Little	和 “小” 同源，最早都是小石子，引申出 “数量少” 的含义
沙	shā	Sand	小石子 + 水，就是海边的沙子
砂	shā	Grit/Sand	小石子 + 石，就是砂石，比如砂锅的砂

Debatimos sobre "la empatía"

Today we're talking about a piece of vocabulary that we can use to say that we haven't decided what our opinion is yet. We're still thinking about a topic and deciding what we think of it. This is the idiom "the jury is (still) out". I hope you find it useful!
