Talk about complexity....

this is the most complex chinese character..consisting of 64 strokes..it means verbose, which is a formal to say using or containing too many words..
the pronunication is zhe2, it has fallen from use since the 5th century

i am more interested in this character as this may be e most complex character still in use now..it is pronounced as biang2. biang biang noodles is a type of noodles found in shanxi province..

Go calculate how many strokes it has..(hint:less than 64 haha)

cool sia..interested ppl can go wikipedia to see..
