How to remember 正
Every Hanzi Master story is built from the sound. For zhèng, the opening sound casts who is in the scene, the ending picks where it happens, and the 4th tone (falling) places it in one of five rooms. 一 (one) and 止 (foot; stop) walk on as the props, and the action lands on the meaning: straight; correct; just now.
The finished scene for 正 is one vivid sentence. Picture it once and zhèng stays with you.
