Schwarzenegger's Nose and the Painful Reality of Chinese Writing

This video means to tackle with the difficult reality of some easy-to-recognize-but-painfully-difficult-to-write characters. One such character is the character 齉 which is written with 36 strokes. How hard can that be? Watch the video to understand the composition of the character, how the meaning and the sound are constructed. If you like language challenges, this video is for you. You won't believe what connects Arnold with the Chinese characters. href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEHLuGFWGFxIeg8cayyE0gYSmPhPPMNe_Zz0EzYCmNX4AeQC-4ImlderoBMQd_37HbnKX3XrgcWc6L-S76Pi7ThJFjfbPFFUBrJhAeQwvJmyRa0HCfwvh-AO374Zw8o_0g5pWfes-2cNabliPcjJadTOPXa7ibQDYjNJZWbg4DSEucw07E7rEq7zL9vow2/s1571/K%C3%A9perny%C5%91felv%C3%A9tel%20%281116%29.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; ">

Easy yet difficult Chinese characters - Semantic Onions of multiple layers #防御defend

Premiere on the 8th of october 12.00 a.m.

Many frequent Chinese characters are simply impossible to write from memory. All this despite the fact that these characters are partly pictographs, that is to say they are supposedly pictographic representations of the real world. If you look at the character 御 in its various forms and shapes along its millennia-old evolution you'll notice that some parts of the character look like a four-legged animal, a swine, maybe a dog or, who knows, a horse even. Premiere on the 8th of October.
