The mnemonic of the character 木? The character 木 means "tree" in English. It's a pretty obvious pictogram, because it looks just like a tree. But which way is it most commonly shown? Which way was it originally depicted? Like this:

none of them . The second one is more like the originally depicted,but has an extra horizontal. If you want to watch the the originally depicted,you can find 甲骨文,that is the earliest characters in China~
