How to Write "Sheep" in Chinese Symbols

Ok now let me teach you the Chinese for "sheep" or "goat", "yang". "Yang" is also a very simple character but you need to pay attention to its stroke shape. This, this is the top part, actually this is a right falling dot and this is a left falling but this stroke should be longer than the first stroke and then we come to three horizontal. Like in the character "yang", the first horizontal is the second longest and the middle horizontal is the shortest and then the last horizontal should be very long. The last stroke here is the vertical, "yang". Let's see how to write this again, "yang" and "yang" is not only an independent character it also, it also radical, we call this is "sheep" radical. In Chinese "goat" is "shang yang", "shang" means "hill" or "mountain" and for "sheep" specifically it's "mian yang". "Mian" indicates the meaning "gentle" but if you say "yang" everybody knows it can be "goat" or "sheep". Let's write it again, "yang".
