Memory tip
Break 績 down and you get 糸 (thread / silk) — a thread wound on its spool, and beside it 責 (duty / blame) — a stem of thorns growing straight up out of a pile of shells and coins. Picture thread wound onto a spool, put 績 inside it, and let that scene stand for "achievement" — achievement. The odder the picture, the better it sticks.
Stroke Order
Stroke count: 17

Writing Tips
- Follow the order strictly: top-to-bottom and left-to-right. Correct order makes the shape balanced and natural.
- Keep each stroke in one smooth motion — don't lift the pen in the middle of a stroke.
- Close enclosing strokes cleanly so the character does not look open or broken.
- Common mistake: drawing strokes bottom-to-top or right-to-left. Even if the result looks similar, the wrong order shows in handwriting and makes it harder to read.
