    林： "木"+ "木"
    木 means "wood."
    The point in memorizing 林 is to picture in your mind that there was originally a tree; 木
    and the other 木 stood next to that tree. Then, it became woods. Pretty simple, right?

    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Notes regarding character

    among the ruling class.
