Learn one Chinese Character a day - 吠

Same as what we have learnt for 鸣, 吠 is created with the same context - 口 plus 犬. It is to mean the bark of a dog. for example: 狗吠声.

We can see how it is evolved from its Oracle Script  , which is (犬) + (口), to its modern form - 吠.

And enjoy a Chinese calligraphy with 吠 inside:
狗吠深巷中,鸡鸣桑树颠。
