蹈 Stroke Order

蹈 [dǎo] 1. 践踏，踩。 (Tread, stamp) - 如: 赴汤蹈火 (go through fire and water) - 重蹈覆辙 (repeat the same mistakes) - 《书经·君牙》: "心之忧危，若蹈虎尾，涉于春冰。" (The worry of the heart is like stepping on a tiger's tail, crossing on spring ice.) 2. 跳动。 (Jump) - 如: 手舞足蹈 (dance with joy) - 唐·李商隐〈韩碑〉诗: "愈拜稽首蹈且舞，金石刻画臣能为。" (The more I bow and pay my respects, the more I dance; I'm capable of etching gold and stone.) 3. 投身。 (Throw oneself in) - 如: 《史记·卷八三·鲁仲连邹阳传》: "彼即肆然而为帝，过而为政于天下，则连有蹈东海而死耳，吾不忍为之民也。" (He brazenly acted as emperor; if he governed the world, then at most, I would plunge into the East Sea and die, I cannot bear to be his people.) 4. 遵循，实践，履行。 (Follow, practice, carry out) - 如: 循规蹈矩 (follow rules) - 《谷梁传·隐公元年》: "若隐者可谓轻千乘之国，蹈道则未也。" (If a recluse is said to lightly regard a country of a thousand chariots, then to follow the Way would be otherwise.) - 唐·韩愈〈争臣论〉: "夫不以所居之时不一，而所蹈之德不同也。" (One does not differ by the times they occupy, but by the virtues they follow.) 5. 朝某方向走;行。 (Go in a certain direction) - 如: 蹈敌 (march to meet the enemy) - 《荀子·儒效》: "故无首虏之获，无蹈难之赏。" (Thus, there is no gain from capturing the head of the enemy and no reward from facing difficulties.) 6. 乘;利用。 (Use) - 如: 蹈瑕 (exploit a failure) - 蹈隙 (take advantage of a gap)
