店
Mnemonic
On a veranda, someone set up an occupy / divination booth — and just like that, a store was born! The fortune teller now occupies the whole veranda with crystal balls and incense, and her divination store is the most popular shop on the street.
Additional thoughts
Picture a wide veranda (广) providing the awning and shelter, with a divination booth (占) set up beneath it. Together they form a store (店). The covered porch becomes a commercial space the moment the fortune teller claims it.Quick recall
An occupy / divination booth under a veranda becomes the hottest store in town.Details
