guardian_learningIt's already TGIF where I am, so 我们来玩玩游戏吧！
Since languages are all about connections, and everyone sees different patterns in the chaos:
Post a bit of vocab below, and I (plus anyone else who wants to play!) will reply with other bits of vocab that feel related to it!
Any shape or size of vocab goes – whether a single character or an idiom, your favourite word or one you just learned.
If you're responding, feel free to add why these words seem related to you! "They're the same shape/sound", or "it's a valid answer to 接龙ing the above", or "it came up together in one line of this show"… anything goes! 放飞创意吧！

Tangentially, calligraphy makes me think of 文房四宝 aka 笔墨纸砚, and also 永 containing all the strokes ever.
