“轻”在传统文化中与“重”相对,《论语》有“士不可以不弘毅,任重而道远”,“任重”与“道远”强调责任之重,反衬“轻”的轻松;成语“轻描淡写”比喻说话或做事不认真,体现“轻”的引申用法。("轻" is paired with "重" in traditional culture. The Analects emphasizes "任重" (heavy responsibility), contrasting with "轻". The idiom "轻描淡写" (understate) reflects its extended use.)

联想“轻”的结构:左边“车”(车字旁)表示与车辆相关(古代车辆轻便的特点),右边“巠”提示发音Qīng,合起来记忆为“车辆轻便的qīng(轻)”。(Associate "轻" with its structure: "车" (vehicle) relates to lightness (ancient vehicles), and "巠" hints at the pronunciation "Qīng". Combine to remember "light vehicle (轻)".)
