You can think of this character as similar to 看 and say that the spring and all of the plants growing to look at. All you have to do is add the one stroke and make sure the bottom is connected instead of separate.

This character is similar to the character “to watch” (this character just has a few added strokes). People often watch for spring by looking for the sprouts of flowers. The added strokes are like the flowers people watch for and they are added to the “to watch” character.

I remember this character because the radical for sun (日） is underneath the rest of the character， which appears to be a big mountain. This makes me think of how the sun is hiding and waiting to come out for summer, the next season of the year.

Spring is when flowers grow and you can see that the top part has roots growing on the bottom because of the sun radical.

This character to me looks like the sun radical resting under a shady tree, and trees get their leaves in the spring.

Spring is associated with sunshine, which is represented by the 日 radical.

I remember this character because is kind of looks like 看 but only has the 日 and it doesn’t have all of the 目. the sun hasn’t fully peaked out yet.

A way for me to remember that 春 means spring is that the radical for sun, 日, is covered by the top part of the character. To me, this feels like shade over the full extent of the sun’s heat, denoting spring rather than summer.

If you see the middle horizontal line as the ground, it seems that a plant is growing out of the top. The sun radical underneath just serves to show what the plant needs. This represents spring.

Looks similar to the character that means “to look” (看）。 Also has the sun radical on the bottom of the character which reminds me of someone looking at the blossom in typical warm weather.

This character looks very similar to the character “看” which means to see. The bottom part of the character has the sun radical “日“. It reminds me of someone looking at blossoms in a typical warm season.

i memorized this character by finding the sun 日 radical being covered by tree leaves, showing that summer has not quite yet come. trees often bloom during the spring time.

This character is similar to 看。 It also has the sun radical, so think of a sunny time when you usually look at nature because it is beautiful.

看 means in spring you have a lot to see, and also it is when the sun (ri4) shines

This character makes me think of the sun coming up through the roots of a bare tree after winter.

This character looks like the tree has finally sprouted. In Japan we use the same character for spring, so to me it looks like the cherry blossoms finally blossomed after a cold long winter. Japanese schools also graduate in the spring, so it’s also a metaphor for the students finally blossoming into adults.
