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

山 shān
Explanation:  mountain
Phrases: 山顶(shān dǐnɡ)the summit of the mountain; 山谷(shān ɡǔ) mountain valley
这个字早期是由三座并排的山组成( ),合起来就成了一座大山。后来为了方便书写,每一座山都用一笔来表示,变成了现在的“山”字了。
The earlier form was clearly a pictographic representation of three peaks standing side by side (  ), creating the form and shape of a large mountain. Later, for the sake of convenience in writing, the peaks developed into single strokes.
