隴 Stroke Order

隴: 1. A mountain name. It runs along the boundary of Gansu and Shaanxi provinces. (山名。綿延於甘肅、陝西交界的地方。) - “Therefore, the rivers and mountains of China flow from the northeast, starting at the Long Mountains and ending in the Bojie.” (故中國山川東北流，其維，首在隴蜀，尾沒於勃碣。《史記•天官書》) - "The Wei River and Min River originate from the Long Mountains, both flowing east northeast into the Bohai Sea." (張守節 正義：“渭水、岷江發源出隴山，皆東北東入渤海也。”) 2. An abbreviation for Gansu Province. For example, the railway segment from Lanzhou in Gansu to Lianyungang is called the Longhai Railway. (甘肅省的簡稱。如從甘肅蘭州到連雲港段的鐵路稱隴海鐵路。) 3. A homophone of "壟" (lǒng), meaning a plot of land or field. (通“壟”。畦，田塊。) - "The seedlings grow above the leaves, slightly mowing the Long grass, thus loosening the soil to attach to the roots of the seedlings." (《漢書•食貨志上》：“苗生葉以上，稍耨隴草，因隤其土以附苗根。”) - "The pheasant's feathers are powdered like clouds, while the mountain fields have no Long." (唐 杜甫 《晚登瀼上堂》詩：“雉堞粉如雲，山田麥無隴。”)
