The most complex Chinese characters are as follows:
Shaanxi cuisine has a high status in the country, among which there are various kinds of noodles. Among the many Shaanxi noodles, "BiangBiang Noodles" is the well-deserved No. 1 food. First, it not only tastes great, but its name is also very eye-catching. The word "biang" in "BiangBiang Noodles" has as many as 57 strokes. It is said to have the most strokes among Chinese characters and is also the most difficult to write and remember.
"Biang" is a made-up Chinese character. It is completely made up based on people's subjective thoughts. It is not included in traditional dictionaries. It cannot be typed using the Pinyin input method. Moreover, this character It is almost only used in biangbiang noodles in Shaanxi and is difficult to see in other places in our lives.
There is also a very complex word related to our country’s food culture. It is called the Chinese character on the tip of the tongue. From the surface, it seems to completely record the process of cooking by cooking. This word is "爨". (cuàn), its upper part is like two "hands" on the left and right placing a "pot" on the "stove". The two characters "wood" below mean firewood, and then the "big fire" is lit. , and its original meaning is "to make a fire to cook".
Knowledge expansion
The word Cuan is not commonly used in our daily lives, but in the calligraphy world there is a font called "Cuan Ti", which is a rare font in ancient China. , which can be traced back to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, is a transitional font that evolved from official script to regular script, and the "Cuan Baozi Stele" and "Cuan Longyan Stele" currently preserved in Qujing City, Yunnan Province are the only remaining Cuan-style stele and The origin of Cuan style characters, Cuan style characters are also regarded as "national treasures" in calligraphy by many calligraphers.
However, the characters "Biang" and "爨" are not the most complex Chinese characters. The character "Biang" is not included in the dictionary as a made-up Chinese character, and the seemingly very complicated character "爨" is not included in the dictionary. Only 30 strokes. The most complex Chinese character included in the "Chinese Dictionary" and "Chinese Dictionary" is pronounced zhé. There are 64 strokes in one stroke. It consists of 4 traditional Chinese characters "dragon", which means "nagging, talking a lot." "
Chinese characters with overlapping single characters like "zhé" are called duplex characters. They are composed of four characters and are called quadruple characters. There are 38 such quadruple characters in the Xinhua Dictionary, and Many of them are written in traditional Chinese characters. If you take them apart, everyone will recognize them, but when put together, they don't look like a Chinese character at all. Not to mention that foreigners will be dumbfounded when they see these words, even Chinese people will probably be confused when they see them.
Seeing these complicated overlapping words, people will immediately think of a Weibo post published by the Asahi Shimbun Chinese website: "We are going to change the prime minister again." After that, "Double click again." These four words instantly became popular on the Internet, because after being broken down, there are 10 characters "and", which can fully illustrate the frequent changes of prime ministers in Japan.
And netizens said, "This post is going viral." !" The comment is even more outstanding. I really have to sigh at the breadth and profoundness of our Chinese characters. Since then, "Double click again" has become an Internet word.
