A simple Four-stroke Traditional Chinese Character meaning Month
Last time we went through a four-stroke Traditional Chinese character, 水, which means water. We are going to work on another four-stroke Traditional Chinese character soon. The character is 月, which means month or moon.
Although there are four strokes, it is quite easy to write. Let’s get started now.
First stroke
The first stroke is a falling leftwards stroke. The stroke starts from the top and falls leftwards.
Second stroke
The second stroke is a new type of stroke. It starts from left to right horizontally, “breaks” and drops from top to bottom and finishes by going up a little like a hook. A similar but simpler stroke was introduced when we went through the Traditional Chinese character, 口.
Third stroke

The third stroke is a horizontal stroke. Here is how it looks like now:
Fourth stroke
Now we come to the fourth and last stroke. It is a simple horizontal stroke which starts from the left and ends on the right. However, it does not complete a square like the last stroke in the character, 日.
Now we have the Traditional Chinese character, 月.
This is it for now. It is important to keep practising before the next post comes soon. I hope you enjoy writing with me.
