The character looks like a person beating a drum with two sticks, therefore he’s “practicing”

Structure of the inner part is somewhat difficult to write and remember, so I need to ‘practice’

the two middle strokes looks like they are on the way to cross forming an x for xi

The two central lines are about to cross, thus in transit to make an x. So, the pinyin is xi

When I see this charachter, I think of swords. The concept of “practice” can be memorized by likening it to the continuous sharpening of a sword, where the more you PRACTICE and refine your skills, the better they become.

The character looks like an eye of someone who has been studying late at night, which means they have been practicing hard.

The character looks like a student writing on a paper in a sealed desk. However, there is an open space for the student to see his paper.
