🏮 Cultural Story
中文 Chinese
"列"用于火车和排列成行的东西。"一列火车"、"一列数据"、"一列队伍"——核心含义是"排成一列/行"。火车之所以用"列"是因为车厢一节接一节排列成行。数学中的"矩阵"(matrix)由行(row)和列(column)组成，中文正好叫"行列"。"列"的本质是"线性排列"。
English
**列 (liè)** = trains and things lined up in rows/columns. Train cars link up in a row → 列. Math matrices: rows (行) and columns (列). Essence: LINEAR ARRANGEMENT.
🎯 列 = train / column / row. Things in a line!
