恭喜发财 (gōngxǐ fācái) means “wishing you prosperity”. It is written with 4 characters and 34 strokes: 恭 (gōng, respectful), 喜 (xǐ, joy), 发 (fā, to send out, to prosper) and 财 (cái, wealth). This is the simplified form; in traditional Chinese it is 恭喜發財.

Write the characters left to right. Within each, the red stroke is the next one and the dot shows where it starts.

Now write it yourself

Trace each character in turn with your finger, a stylus or the mouse. Every stroke is checked as you draw it.

Remember it, don't just copy it

Ink a Day brings characters back to write from memory, just before you'd forget them. Five minutes a day.
