Koohii stories:

1) [wzafran] 16-6-2007(174): Pig iron is basic/crude metal, that is, before it has been processed.

2) [Danieru] 7-7-2008(121): Pig-iron is crude metal ( 金 ) before ( 先 ) it is refined. If you have trouble with this character, envision a big minotaur (cow head with human legs) as a blacksmith, smelting metals and making swords for war.

3) [meolox] 17-9-2007(33): 100% of Japanese university graduates claim to have never seen this character, so impress them by remembering it, Pig-iron is metal before it has been processed. (Just a copy of the most common used story but with this little fact added, really impress your japanese friends or teachers by learning this one).

4) [uchifly] 27-5-2009(8): PIG-IRON is the condition of IRON BEFORE it has been processed.

5) [Lazerbeat] 17-8-2011(5): GOLD BEFORE an alchemist touches it is pig iron.
