For this post I've included the 笔画/bǐhuà for each 部首/bùshǒu. The animated stroke order will match the 笔画 order. For example, the Radical below is 一 (héng) followed by丨(shù), making 十 (shí)

To get the 笔画 for the previous two Radical posts, see HERE

Tip: Saying the bǐhuà out loud while writing a bùshǒu really does help in remembering the stroke names and the all important stroke order.

 

shí 'ten'

Strokes: 2 Examples: 古 考 毕

笔画/bǐhuà: héng shù

 

chǎng 'factory/slope'

Strokes: 2 Examples: 历 厄 厉

笔画： héng piě

 

fāng 'basket'

Strokes: 2 Examples: 匹 巨 匝

笔画: héng shù zhé

Although this Radical has only two strokes there are three parts, héng shù zhé. Zhé isn't counted as a stroke, only a part of a stroke.

bǔ 'divine'

卜 is a picture or representation of the divination cracks in ancient Oracle Bones.

Also the top part of 占

Strokes: 2 Examples: 外 卧 卦 

笔画: shù diǎn

 

dāo 'side of, abbreviation of knife'

Strokes: 2 Examples: 刚 创 刎

笔画: shù shù gōu

As with the basket Radical fāng, this Radical has only two strokes, yet there are three parts, shù shù gōu. Gōu isn't counted in the stroke count.
