Mnemonic comic for 西

Translation

= xi + Ø1: the West / abbr. for Spain 西班牙[Xi1 ban1 ya2] / Spanish

Mnemonic

Mnemonic symbol: for "the wild west" I choose a cowboy hat. To me, 西 also kind of looks like a cowboy hat: 囗 looks like the brim and 兀 looks like the crown of the cowboy hat.

Xi Shi (xi) went crazy from the loneliness in outer space. In front of the space station (Ø1), she sits inside of a large plastic enclosure (囗), wearing a cowboy hat (西) and playing a 胡兀尔 (兀) fiddle, thinking that she's participating in a square dance in the wild west (西).
