Learn Chinese Characters — Cry; Wail; Weep

by Gao

The Chinese characters 哭 meaning is cry; wail; weep.

This Chinese character uses two mouths (口) to express intense action of the mouth, resembling the wailing of dogs (犬); so dog with two mouths means “wail”: 哭. Two mouths may effectively express crying and howling, but certainly, “two buckets of tears,” according to the proverb, “will not heal a bruise.”
