Mysterious Fascinating Chinese Word

笔画最多的汉字
Do you ever calculate, how difficult to write a chinese character? Today i will introduce 2 very difficult to write chinese word, which has biang3 (biǎng) and da2 (dá) pronounciation respectively.

As shown in the picture above, the word at the left hand side of the picture is pronounced as biang3 (biǎng), which is a sound noun. "biang3 (biǎng) biang3 (biǎng)" is the sound made when a person is mixing noodles and making noodles strips. (Chinese translation: 面与面板摔打撞击,“biang、biang”也 。)

While the chinese character at the right hand side is pronounced as da2 (dá), which has a meaning of talkative (Chinese translation: 二龙、三龙均音dá,龙行貌。四龙音zhé,义为“唠唠叨叨,话多”,并认为四龙是的异体字。)

“一点飞上天,黄河两边弯;八字大张口,言字往里走,
左一扭,右一扭;西一长,东一长,中间加个马大王;
心字底,月字旁,留个勾搭挂麻糖;
推了车车走咸阳。”

Interesting, isn't it? The word shows the intelligence of our ancient ancestor.

Until next time. See you again in the mysterious wisdom of Chinese.
