i remember the bamboo radical through 算了 (forget it) so I would think of that as if you put something in the refrigerator and forget it. If you see it with your eyes (eye radical on the bottom right) later, it might be spoiled by then.

This reminds me of a box because the component similar to the eye radical looks a lot like three boxes stacked on top of each other. The bamboo and wood radicals remind the viewer what the box is made of.

The bamboo radical on the top indicates that it is a BOX made out of bamboo. It also looks like a box from the side as the stripes from the eye radical look like stripes of wood.

The lower half of the character looks like a “BOX” made out of wood and the lid of the box is made out of “BAMBOO”.

This character looks like a box with little flowers sticking out of it which helps me remember the bamboo radical.

The bamboo character on top illustrates the cap of a box and we can see the lower part as things piled up inside it.

It has the bamboo radical on the top and a wood and eye radical under, because a BOX is made of wood and if you open it, you can see inside. For the pronunciation, the bottom part of the character has the top part of 想 so I remember it sounds similar and is xiang.

One element of this character looks like it could be a set of drawers, or a refrigerator door.
