Biang! The Most DIFFICULT Chinese Character… EXPLAINED!

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!

  3. 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. 🙂
  4. 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
