Welcome back to Scavenger Sunday.<br \/>\nN: \u6211\u662f Nora\uff01\u6b22\u8fce\u6536\u770b\u6211\u4eec\u7684\u8282\u76ee!<br \/>\nA: I\u2019m Allen from WrittenChinese.Com and this week we want to show you the \u5fc3 character!<br \/>\nN: Allen, what does \u5fc3 mean?<br \/>\nA: Generally, \u5fc3means heart.<br \/>\nN: Oh, you mean this kind of heart? <\/p>\n<p>[Use fingers to make a love heart]<\/p>\n<p>A: Well, yes but for Chinese people, \u5fc3 is also about the mind. You\u2019ll find many characters with the \u5fc3 radical that have some connection to thoughts and feelings.<br \/>\nN: Oh yeah, for example, \u60f3 (xi\u01ceng), which means to think, suppose or believe.<br \/>\nA, Or \u5fd8, let\u2019s say \u6211\u5fd8\u4e86\uff01which means \u2018I forgot!\u2019<br \/>\nN: So can you give us some \u5fc3 example sentences\uff1f<br \/>\nA: Sure. One useful \u5fc3 example is \u6211\u4eca\u5929\u5fc3\u60c5\u4e0d\u9519,this means \u2018I am in good mood today\u2019.<br \/>\nN: Nice. So, now you know a little bit about the \u5fc3 character, let\u2019s have a look at some of those Scavenger Sunday videos!<\/p>\n<p>A: Great job guys!<br \/>\nN: Yeah, and there were some great handwritten characters in there as well! Allen, can you show us how to write this week\u2019s character?<br \/>\nA: Of course!<br \/>\nN: So this week\u2019s character is \u5927 (d\u00e0), meaning big.<br \/>\nA: Here we go\u2026<br \/>\n[character demo]<\/p>\n<p>A: OK guys, I want to show you how to write the \u5927 character. The first stroke we call \u6a2a (h\u00e9ng) in Chinese which goes left to right like this and the second stroke is \u6487 (pi\u011b), curving stroke from right to left and the third stroke we call \u637a (n\u00e0) in Chinese which is from left to right. So that\u2019s the \u5927 character on the board. Hope you like it!<\/p>\n<p>N: Thanks Allen! So now you guys can go and try it out yourself!<br \/>\nA: Yes, this week we want to see more videos, more photos, and more pictures!<br \/>\nN: I agree. We would also like to thank everyone who\u2019s sent us pictures and videos so far. We couldn\u2019t do it ourselves so keep those videos coming!<br \/>\nA: Good luck with this week\u2019s character: \u5927<br \/>\nN: Yep, and don\u2019t forget to post your photos and video at www.facebook.com\/writtenchinese<br \/>\nA: Don\u2019t forget to check out our Chinese learning mobile apps at www.writtenchinese.com\/apps<br \/>\nN: See you next time! \u4e0b\u6b21\u89c1\uff01<br \/>\nA:\u4e0b\u6b21\u89c1\uff01Bye\uff01 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Episode 4 of our Scavenger Sunday video series, were we ask YOU to send us your character pictures and videos!
