How to Write "Vest" in Chinese

Now I am going to teach you the Chinese word for vest, bei xin. Okay, the meaning of this work is very interesting because the two characters are actually two body parts. Bei is back, and xin is heart. So we know that if we are wearing a vest it covers the back side and the front side of our body. Not the sleeves, not the arms. So that's why, bei xin, is used to describe vest ,it means vest in Chinese. Okay, the upper part of bei is pronounced bei, bei, bie, now very similar. In the lower part it has a radical, which meant body, which meant meat. Also it appears in many characters of body names. This is see, we are rising from left to right, bei xin again. Bei xin, that is the clothes that cover the back and front side of our body. It's very meaningful!
