How to study 律 in context

  1. Say lǜ, then recall the core meaning: statute, principle, regulation.
  2. Write all 9 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 法律 (fǎ lǜ), meaning “law”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 律 works in that context.
