Chinese for Kids - Writing Four Seasons 春夏秋冬 | Lesson B23 Preview | Little Chinese Learners

小朋友,又到了我們的寫字時間。 今天,我們要寫四個字。 哪四個字? 去年春天,我寫了一百個字。 換你說說看。 去年夏天,哥哥去大學了。 換你說說看。 很棒! Let's talk about something we want to do in the upcoming year. 今年秋天,我要去學唱歌。 In autumn of this year, I want to go learn to sing. 今年秋天,我要去學唱歌。 Your turn! Fabulous! We can use 要 to say we want to or we're going to. So we can use it to talk about our upcoming plans. We can also use the word 會 in the same way. 明年冬天,我會去爺爺家過年。 For next year's winter, I'm going to grandpa's house to celebrate the new year. 明年冬天,我會去爺爺家過年。 換你了! Let's start writing our words of the day. To write 春, we can think of it as two parts, 上面和下面。 At the top, there are three horizontal strokes followed by a left slant and a right slant. 下面有什麼? 下面有日這個字。 It's warmer in the spring, so the radical for 春 is the sun. We write it following our box rules. That's how we write 春. Now you try it. For summer, 夏, we start with a horizontal stroke and a short left slant, followed by a part that looks like 目 or the eye. We wrote this character before when we learned to write 看 for look. It's the same here. We follow the box rules with the left, top and right walls first. We fill inside with two strokes and close out the box. The bottom is trickier. We do a left slant, a horizontal stroke that curves to the left, and a press stroke to the right to end it. That's how we write 夏. Now you try. To write the character for autumn, 秋, we start with 左邊. This part of the word is known as 和 and stands for grains because autumn is when crops are ready for harvest. We write it with a slant stroke on top, followed by a character that looks just like wood, 木. On the right side, 右邊, we have the character for fire, 火. So we write the two sparks first and then add the two slant strokes in between. That's how we write 秋. Now you try. Finally, let's write 冬. The top looks tricky, but it's exactly the same as the bottom of 夏, so we write it with the same strokes. After that, we just add two dots to wrap up the word. Now you try it.
