6. 文化背景 (Cultural Background)
在中国古代，“疏”是一种重要的文体，臣子向皇帝陈述政见、报告事情的奏章称为“疏”，如贾谊的《论积贮疏》。此外，在绘画艺术中，“疏可走马，密不透风”体现了疏密对比的审美原则。 (In ancient China, "疏" was an important literary style. Memorials submitted by officials to the emperor to state political views or report matters were called "疏", such as Jia Yi's "On the Accumulation of Grain". In addition, in painting art, the principle of "sparse enough for a horse to gallop, dense enough to be impermeable" reflects the aesthetic principle of contrast between density and sparsity.)

8. 记忆技巧 (Memory Tips)
可以联想“疏”字的部首“疋”，古代与足有关，而疏导水流就像让水流找到自己的路径，如同人用脚走路一样。通过这个联想，能帮助记住“疏”的含义和读音。 (You can associate the radical "疋" in the character "疏" with feet in ancient times. Dredging water flow is like finding a path for water, just like a person walking with their feet. This association can help you remember the meaning and pronunciation of "疏".)
