恭喜發財 (gōngxǐ fācái) means “wishing you prosperity”. It is written with 4 characters and 44 strokes: 恭 (gōng, respectful), 喜 (xǐ, joy), 發 (fā, to send out, to prosper) and 財 (cái, wealth). This is the traditional form; in simplified Chinese it is 恭喜发财.

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