Mysterious Chinese character 寡 - Easy to remember, difficult to write #chinesewriting
The video is about the character 寡. This character is problematic because despite being a rather common character, it is very difficult to vrite down from memory, and understanding its etymology is no big help either.. The second problem with the character is that its main meaning, that of "widow" has no connection with the secondary meaning of the character: 1. ''very" and 2. "few".
This video is suseful because it teaches you the stroke order of the character 寡 and evolution of the character and its role in understanding the phenomenon of "character amnesia'" that plagues the Chinese writing system.
