bustle
On-Yomi: ホン — Kun-Yomi: はし.る
Elements:
bustle, large, St. Bernard, haystack, ten, needle, needle3, ten3
Primitive:
haystack The three needles stacked up give us a haystack (in which it may be harder to find the hay than the needles). In the rare case in which there is nothing underneath this element, as in the following FRAME, the last three strokes are written virtually the same as two hands--that is, the second stroke sweeps down slightly to the left. [5]
Heisig story:
The hustle and bustle of this character is depicted by a St. Bernard dog and a haystack.
Koohii stories:
1) [dwhitman] 11-12-2007(170): Hustle and bustle = a big St. Bernard dog frisking about in a haystack, knocking it down and spreading the hay about, after the field hands just stacked it up.
2) [matticus] 30-10-2006(90): A bustle is also the name for the big wire-framed skirts that women used to wear. Here's a St. Bernard dog jammed ass-first into the top of a haystack, looking like some kind of proper Victorian-era lady as he struggles to get out.
3) [bihzad] 13-3-2008(73): (note: easier way to remember haystack - it's just as difficult to find a needle in a haystack, even if you use two hands) Farmers hustling and bustling to move big haystacks.
4) [cheechuan] 9-3-2008(41): In the hustle and bustle of NYC, you suddenly find this humongous haystack and a giant St. Bernard sitting on top of it, howling Christmas songs. Nobody even stops to look….only in NYC.
5) [imagia] 27-8-2008(12): - I had trouble using the haystack primitive without "money" as in the following frames, so I've separated the elements out to make sure I don't put "money" into this kanji. Whenever you come across any BUSTLE, there's a simple solution for getting through. Get your St Bernard and prick him with a needle - he'll cut right through the BUSTLE. You just have to hold onto him with two hands!
