////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I introduce ''笑'' on this time.

Originally, ''笑'' expresses an act to make a mouth narrower thin and laugh.
I imagine that it was not common people open a mouth greatly and laugh.

The modern people can open a mouth greatly and laugh.

I am happy.
When I open a mouth greatly and laugh, I am very happy.

I introduce ''泣'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
