Chinese Character 脉 (Mài) - Meaning, Stroke Order, and Usage #270554 (License: Personal Use)

This image displays the Chinese character 脉 (pinyin: mài), which literally means “pulse” or “vein” and is widely used in medical, poetic, and metaphorical contexts (e.g., 血脉 “bloodline”, 脉络 “network/veins”). Rendered in bold, high-contrast black ink on a clean white background, it exemplifies standard Kaishu (regular script) calligraphy with precise stroke order and balance. The character combines the semantic radical 月 (often representing “flesh” or body parts) and the phonetic component 永 (yǒng), indicating historical sound association.

Used on language-learning sites, dictionaries, TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) resources, and cultural education pages where users seek visual recognition, stroke guidance, or etymological insight into Chinese characters.
