Biang! The Most DIFFICULT Chinese Character... EXPLAINED!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- Biáng is a Chinese character that's so complex, it can't be typed on a keyboard. With origins in China's Shaanxi Province, the outrageous complexity of this character has given rise to many myths. In this video, I break down every component of biang, explain a rhyming jingle to help you remember how to write it, and tell my favorite tale of the its supposed origin!

When I started to learn Chinese Characters I decided to begin with this one. I thought: if I can write this one I'll have no problem writing all of them
Haha
I thought that idea wan only in mine hahhaa
English version of this tale:
Kid was like "I bet I can spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." Chef was like "nuh uh, bet" and lost.
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
Welsh: llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
the mnemonic device in English:
Apex rising up to the sky. Over two bends by the Yellow River’s side. Character ‘eight’ is opening wide, While character ‘speech’ enters inside. You twist, I twist too, You grow, I grow with you. Inside a horse, the king will rule, “Heart” down below, “moon” by the side. Leave a hook for sesame candy to hang low. On our carriage, to Xianyang we’ll ride
You can pronounce the words more clearly than most of the non-Mandarin speaking person. Thumb up from me! Thanks again and please continue to be so inspiring. :)
This is glorious, I've been looking for "learning powerful methods to build your Chi energy" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Fellmeroni Rudimentary Chi - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my cousin got great success with it.

"I didn't come close to say that perfectly"
*proceeds to say it perfectly
i like your brief explanation and the story behind the character itself! so fascinating
Lovely vedio! I am a Chinese mum with two kids born overseas,to whom i've been trying to introduce our culture. We had biáng biáng noodles this morning and I made up a dance to this jingle, helping them learn this fun character. Then we found your vedio which helps them understand much better. Thankyou!
Thanks for drawing your characters. Brought back good memories!
This is so cool! Thanks so much for sharing.
Awesome, thanks for making this video!

I had heard about this character before and I think it looks really cool. I will try to write it
Chinese (fixed):
一点飞上天,黄河两道湾,八字大张口,言字往里走,东一扭西一扭,左一长右一长,中间加个马大王,心字底月字旁,留个钩搭挂麻糖,坐个车车逛咸阳
Chinese (Traditional):
一點飛上天,黃河兩道灣,八字大張口,言字往裡走,東一扭西一扭,左一長右一長,中間加個馬大王,心字底月字旁,留個鉤搭掛麻糖,坐個車車逛咸陽
Pinyin:
Yīdiǎn fēi shàngtiān, huánghé liǎng dào wān, bāzì dà zhāngkǒu, yán zì wǎng lǐ zǒu, dōng yī niǔ xī yī niǔ, zuǒ yī cháng yòu yī cháng, zhōngjiān jiā gè mǎ dàwáng, xīn zì dǐ yuè zì páng, liú gè gōu dā guà má táng, zuò gè chē chē guàng xiányáng

Nice story. I liked the drawings!

It's definitely not nor easy to speak for an English speaker.
That last shot of the noodle bowl did me dirty.. i want a bowl!!! Also, MS paint for the win!!!
So happy that I follow you! thank you for all the awesome info. and for this video I love this character! and I love how you called it the unicorn of characters!
“一点飞上天。黄河两道湾。八字大张口。言字往里走。东扭西一扭。左一长右一长。中间加个马大王心字底日字旁。留个钩搭挂麻米唐。坐个车车逛咸阳。” This is the poem he said
Very interesting and expanding my knowledge on Chinese characters. Thank you and look forward to more videos from you.
Sweet video :D
The stroy behind the character is really cute. Haha
oh hey, catching the post on the day it's posted.
Very interesting
Greetings from Dali, China!!! IMPRESSIVE!
lol, very impressive! Omg, it’s so complicated!
Even me who needs to write this word once I need to get a video all about it. Thank you!
Edit: *just realised that I need to write this 15 times. Oof*
Huang is an ancient Chinese character with an unknown meaning but speculation says it describes the heavens. 172 strokes!
厉害👍
Your vids are great. I miss the $20 travel vids. Thanks for a new upload
after the poem i get it now!
So, I can't write in English well, so I cannot imagine doing this... Neat!
I didn't try this character but I wrote Taito well I am really 😊😊😊
Whats your first langauge?
@@wokk9543 My first language is English, I just can not physically write anything any more. Tremors, and besides, typing was always good for me...
@@belizeguy oh dang
@@wokk9543 Almost EVERYBODY I know and write to are happy to receive things from me that are typed, so they can read them!! Not so bad.
Biang in simplified Chinese:𰻝,Biang in traditional Chinese:𰻞
佩服~
Why is the stroke order weird? I'm thinking in particular of the middle tier. Why is it Ma-Yue-Dao rather then Yue-Ma-Dao?
If the chef couldn't write the name the noodles, what was written on the check?
1:49 Did he just say
*D U W A N G*
I thought the hardest character is “noodles” lol
i didnt know why i love this language
If the word biang biang came from the sound when making the hand pulled noodles. Then it should have been written as 蹦蹦麵.
As should be able read most Chinese word by looking at part of the word and sound out the word.
This 54 strokes Chinese character would not be able to be read by most Cantonese, other than those who have been told that it is biang.
0:19 by what standard? Han (dynasty) or PRC?
Alright that is f cool
actually there is the japanese character taito/otodo with 86 strokes. it was a japanese surname but it isn't used and i think that is a good choice
Taito/Otodo ---> literally three clouds above three dragons.
That character does have a lot of strokes. However, you'd notice there are only repetition of two different radicals, so not hard- just tedious!
@@taylor_h796 true.
One question ... why ?
biang biang see its this simple gawd !!! But it looks beautiful tho
Is the biang the word for the “Wah biang”
穴穴穴穴
刂 月 幺言幺 刂
刂 镸馬镸 刂
辶 刂
心心心心心心 刂
Does it have Japanese readings yet? Peace.
,and it's an onomatopoeia.
Chicago has one that goes "Woopwopdabam". The sound, of the sequence, of getting arrested.
This character is not a “real” character because it’s not in a typical Chinese dictionary. The Pinyin “biang” is not a real pinyin either.
You've got me there. According to this man's myth it was a kid, dazzling a meal, directly out of a pile bullshit. No?
Don’t think that’s the hardest word lmao. It’s easy to memorize too😼
I suggest we all start a movement to get biang into the Chinese dictionary!
Wait till you see huang2 (172 strokes)
Good luck!
すごい!
thank you,you are handsome!
爨鑿 u sure that’s the hardest?
You are typing it doe there’s a lil difference
中文学得不错👍
谢谢
Woah
I love those noodles.
Traditional chinese is the home of the hardest chinese characters to learn, not simplified chinese
麤龘 here the hardest character
Do huáng 172 strokes
I am not so good in Chinese, but that's not actually so hard as you think. If you know all the small characters that make a "word" you probably won't have any problems with it.
Just divide them into peaces
nice fact how he wrote the biang word better than me and I am chinese
when i heard word "strokes" i thought real ass strokes and they fail it
That’s Japanese - the Pillow Book.
When a guy is named biang shi and he has to go through that much to write his name in an exam
Oh,as a Chinese,I have never seen this character and I don't know its pronounciation.😂
You would see this character a lot at many restaurants if you had travelled to Xi’an, quite a common dish there
John the pinyin is Biáng
Wow! Way too many strokes! What’s the best way to simplify it?
As far as I know only two characters included inside of biang can be simplified (长 and 马). Thanks for watching!
The biang character is super easy.
I need a mnemonic device to remember that the word pneumonic refers to the lung, NOT memory!!!!
Zhé verbose (four traditional dragons ) is harder
It's not hard because it's just 4 words put in one
what about huàng or d h
怎么读
釁 then what is this
Most difficult?? its made of the most basic and easy parts in the whole wiritng system :D Also its partially symmetrical. How is THAT difficult??
im still a kid i can already write it
龘龘龘龘龘龘龘龘龘龘龘龘
字
那个“月”,好像 在古汉语中是 “肉” 的意思。。。(当然可能是我记错了。。。) XD
哇! 挺有意思。。
不是肉的意思,是“肉”这个篆字在简化过程中,作为偏旁部首被楷化成了“月”
I write biang biang for breakfast and then I eat it
Fragrant Mandarin 香橘子 sounds like death notes scene
I'm literally able to write this, what's wrong
浪。
actually there is a chinese character which is more difficult to write than biang .that is huang.it is a story about a storm destroying a car park

Student.
Just want to have a free lunch.
Nice thumbnail bro.. I really like your content, but this is RUclips try hard mode.
I guess this stuff works so, hopefully more people will see your content. Thumbs up!
没有。
okie, so we got all of those characters and... how to call the story of it, is it like in this rhyme you said? cuz i ccant understand why where is "horse" radical, and "tiny" radicals... i can understand "walk" and "knife", but... rest? i dont get it. for example u can explain Communism as ideology, work, share... something.... anyway this biang character seems... pointless.
我疯了疯了,你的中文比我还好!🤔🤔🤔
Looks like it take a million years to write a book or even a page. English is much better and more fluid although beautiful characters one of the hardest languages to learn. Most working people wouldn't have the time for to actually learn.
One basic rule I have when watching youTube videos is that I immediately stop any video that starts with "What's up?" ... That lack of creativity does not bode well for the remainder of the video. I've find another video.
You read into things too much, homie
豳
THAT WORD IS QR CODE OT A WORD!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahahaha yes it is
日案外
*Chinese language is one of the best languages in the world. *simplified
It's definitely fun and interesting a numerous levels.
Don't make fake origin. Chinese need right and truth.
xiexie laoshi
Chinese characters are so complex that makes it an old inefficient writing system
Then Japanese is even less efficient as it has kanji like Chinese, then katakana and hiragana. Super redundant.
no one even uses this one anymore anyway
Each writing system is better each language, like Chinese uses tones and has little grammar so it would be easier to give up on an alphabet. Japanese has no spaces making harder to read with kanji and also there's many words that are the same pronounce but different by Their kanji.
100th comment.
Why the Chinese invented such a complicated system of writing!?
Because they are complicated as a result of 5000 years of civilization.
There's always order in complex. Kevin learns it in correct way. He knows radicals which are like word roots in English. Even Chinese has to learn writing from radicals when they're kids.
To separate the scholars from the farmers.
Thats nothing to the most complex kanji character.
Kanji literally means "Chinese character", i just don't get it
@@user-fu4yt4qj4s yeah they are. But they are specifically very old Chinese characters.
There's one that basically means "the circle of life" and it is insanely complex.
