Mnemonic
A sudden change in gravity causes every page in a towering bookshelf to lean dangerously to one side. Pages flutter and slide as the whole structure tilts, devoting all its weight in one direction until it crashes to the floor.
Additional thoughts

The keyword for 傾 is lean. This kanji conveys the idea of tilting, inclining, or slanting to one side, whether physically or figuratively. It can describe something that is not upright or balanced, such as a structure that leans or a person who inclines toward a particular opinion or tendency. It also carries the extended meaning of devoting oneself entirely to something, as in leaning all of one's energy in a certain direction.
