Kangxi Dictionary strokes (Kang Xi Zi Dian Bi Hua) Introduction: Comparison Table of Special Stroke Rules for Radicals | Xuan Xue (mystical studies) Encyclopedia

Kangxi stroke count (Kang Xi Bi Hua) Basic rules: ① All rules must be followed in accordance zi (courtesy name) in the traditional character stroke count (Fan Ti Zi Bi Hua) in the Kangxi Dictionary (Kang Xi Zi Dian) center (Zhong) Numerical calculations, not in simplified characters; ② The simplified Transformation (Hua) part must be reduced to traditional characters and counted again. Example: Simplified "Liu" 6 strokes → Traditional "Liu" 15 strokes; Simplified "Chen" 7 strokes → Traditional "Chen" 16 strokes; Simplified "Fei" 3 strokes → Traditional "Fei" 9 strokes; ③ If a zi (courtesy name) has multiple traditional zi (courtesy name) spellings, the most commonly used one shall prevail (or according to the Name study (Xing Ming Xue) tradition). ④ Some zi (courtesy name) have special regulations and are not stroked according to the actual traditional Chinese characters. These special rules are listed in detail in the following content.

The following radicals have special strokes, which are not counted according to the actual number of strokes in simplified Chinese: ①【Water (Shui)】→ According to "Water (Shui)"zi (courtesy name), 4 strokes are counted, not 3 strokes. Example: Sea (11 strokes) = 4 + every 7; Qing (12)=4+green/Blue (Lan Se) 8; River (9) = 4 + may be 5; Jiang (7) = 4 + Go3; ②【Raise your hand next to it】→ Press "hand" zi (courtesy name) to calculate 4 strokes, not 3 strokes. Example: ming (given name); Hit (6) = Hit 4+Ding (4th Heavenly Stem) 2; Beat (9)=4+white (Bai) 5; ③【Next to "Heart (Xin)"】→ Calculate 4 strokes according to "Heart (Xin)" zi (courtesy name), not 3 strokes. Example: Yi (2nd Heavenly Stem) = Yi 4 + Tai 5; Constant (10) = 4 + Gen6; ④【courtesy name】→ Count 6 strokes according to "Chuan" (courtesy name), not 3 strokes! Example: Fang (10) = 6 + 4; English (11) = 6 + Central 5; Hua (14) = 6 + 8? Incorrect: "Hua" 14 strokes. ⑤【The Bottom of the Run】→ Calculate 7 strokes according to "zi" (courtesy name), not 3 strokes! Example: Yuan (17) = 7 + Yuan 10; Near (11) = 7 + jin 4; (16) = 7 + 9. These five are the most prone to Yi (2nd Heavenly Stem) mistakes, remember them!

Continue: ⑥ [Left Ears (Er) next to/on the left] → Press "Fu" zi (courtesy name) to count 8 strokes, not 2! Example: Chen (5th Earthly Branch) = 8 + East 8; Yang(17) = 8 + Yang 9; (19) = 8 + sacrifice 11; ⑦【Next to/on the right of Ears (Er)】→ Calculate 7 strokes according to the "courtesy name" zi, not 2 strokes! Example: Miyako (16) = 11+7; Guo (15) = enjoy 10 + 5? Incorrect: Guo (15) = 10 high + 5 high? No, the right = 7: the capital (16) = the person (11) + the right (7) = 18? Oh no: Kangxi stroke count (Kang Xi Bi Hua) "all" is 16 strokes, which means that in addition to the radical, we also need to look at the whole. In practice, it is recommended to use the Name study (Xing Ming Xue) stroke chart to directly look up the zi (courtesy name), rather than calculating it yourself. ⑧ [next to Metal (Jin)zi (courtesy name)] → Calculate 8 strokes according to "Metal (Jin)"zi (courtesy name), not 5 strokes. Example: ming (given name)=ming (given name) 6; Silver (Yin Se)=8+Gen (Mountain) 6; ⑨【Next to "zi (courtesy name)"】→ Calculate 5 strokes according to "zi (courtesy name)", not 4 strokes. Example: Xiang (11) = Yi 5+Goat/Sheep (Yang)6; Fu (14) = 5 + Fu 9; ⑩ [Next to "courtesy name"] → Calculate 6 strokes according to "courtesy name", not 5 strokes. Example: Yu (13) = 6 + Valley 7; Supplement (13) = 6 + 7.

More special rules: ⑪【Wang zi (courtesy name) next/Slanted jade next】→ Calculate 5 strokes according to "jade"zi (courtesy name), not 4 strokes. Example: Ling (10) = Wang 5 + Ling 5; rare (10) = 5 + 5; ⑫【Next to the moon and flesh/Next to the moon and flesh】→ When it is on the left or below, count 6 strokes according to the "flesh" zi (courtesy name), not 4 strokes! Example: Liver (Gan) (9) = 6 months + 3 stems; Lung (Fei)(10)=6+4; Foot (15?) = meat + yet; Note: When the month is displayed as "Moon (Yue Liang)", it is still counted as 4 strokes (for example, Ming = Day 4 + Moon 4 = 8); ⑬【Next to dog/dog】→ Calculate 4 strokes according to "dog" zi (courtesy name), not 3 strokes. Example: Dog (Gou) (9) = 4 + 5; Cats (15?) = 4 + seedlings 11; ⑭【Heart (Xin) is below】→ Count 4 strokes according to "Heart (Xin)". Example: Overthinking (Si)(9)=Tian 5+Heart (Xin)4; En(10) = Heart (Xin)4; ⑮ [Water (Shui) is below] → Count 4 strokes according to "Water (Shui) = spring (Chun) zi (courtesy name) head 5 + Water (Shui) 4; ⑯【Rain zi (courtesy name) head】→ 8 strokes based on "rain". Example: snow (11) = rain 8 + rain 3; Thunder (Lei) (13) = 8 + field 5.

When actually naming (given name), it is recommended to use Name study (Xing Ming Xue) software or a professional Kangxi stroke count (Kang Xi Bi Hua)zi (courtesy name) dictionary for verification.
