How to study 斥 in context

  1. Say chì, then recall the core meaning: to scold, to upbraid.
  2. Write all 5 strokes while keeping the overlaid balanced.
  3. Use it in 充斥 (chōng chì), meaning “to be full of”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 斥 works in that context.
