Interesting Chinese or Kanji Words 漢字 : Complex Chinese Character "Biang" (62 strokes)

The Simplest Character in Mandarin is ("一" Yi) meaning One, and maybe the next most complex Chinese Character as below pronounced as "Biáng". The word is said to first appear as describing a type of Noodle called "Biáng Biáng Mian". And the word "Biáng" may have come from the sound of the process of how the thick, wide noodle was prepared. (There is a shop in PJ that is managed by Chinese from China that offers this noodle!)
Biangbiang noodles, alternatively known as 油潑扯麵 (油泼扯面) "Youpo Chemian" in Chinese, are a type of noodle popular in the cuisine of 中國陝西省 China's Shaanxi Province.

Interesting Chinese or Kanji Words 漢字 : 3 雲 + 3 龍

 

This is probably the most complex word in Kanji or for that matter in Mandarin recognized characters that are used to form a Kanji in Japanese vocabulary of "Dragons in the Clouds"!
The word reads as : たいと(Taito).
The word is formed by combining 3 雲 (くもkumo or clouds) with 3 龍 (りゅうRyuu or dragons).
The mind blowing Kanji is 84 strokes:
(3 雲 3 x 12 = 36 strokes) + ( 3 龍 3 x 16 = 48 strokes) = 84 strokes.
Although not verifiable, the kanji word is a very rare Japanese Surname.
