Tips

memory
Build it from the parts: (gǔ, to drum/blow) + (fēng, wind) + (lú, furnace) — literally 'wind-blowing furnace', i.e. forced-air furnace. In modern industrial Chinese, the more usual term is (gāolú, lit. 'tall furnace') for a steel-mill blast furnace; 鼓风炉 covers the broader category and historical/smaller furnaces.
