One character a day, easy to master Chinese characters. Let's take a look at the basic knowledge of "火".

火 huŏ  
Explanation：flame; fire
Phrases：火柴(huǒ chái) match  ; 火车(huǒ chē) train
你看“火”的字形（ ）像不像一团向高空上升的火？而且里头有火舌在动的模样，现在它旁边的两点就表示火舌，“火”正是物体燃烧时所产生的火焰。它还可以放在左面或下用作部首，以“火”为部首的字常与“火”、“热”或火的功能有关。
火 is a pictographic character. As the oracle bones show, it pictures the shape of a flame rising into the air. 火is a radical in other Chinese characters(there are three forms of the “fire” radical: one is placed on the left side; the others are written on the bottom as a flattened火, or as four dots). Chinese characters with this radical mostly have something to do with “fire” or “heat”, or the functions of fire.
