Tips
history
豳 is not used independently in modern Chinese. It is an ancient place name, also written 邠, and survives mainly through the 豳风 (Airs of Bin) section of the 诗经, early farming poetry.
register
Historical and literary; seen in classical poetry and old geography, not in speech.
山 (mountain) wraps the character: its first stroke starts it and its last two close the bottom, framing the hilly terrain of the Bin region around the pair of boars.
phonetic
豩bīn
two boars
豩 is a doubled 豕 (pig), sitting inside the mountain frame and supplying the sound bīn.
Filed under radical 豕 (shǐ, #152) by convention. 豕 is not a separate component in 豳, so no strokes are highlighted.
