Chinese Character | The stroke of Chinese character and its order

Chinese character are written in a shape of square, therefore they are known as square-shaped characters. Each character consists of various strokes formed by different dots or lines as the basic components.

汉字的字形是方的,所以又称为“方块字”。汉字是由不同的笔画组成的,笔画是组成方块汉字字形的各种形状的点和线,它是汉字形体的最小单位。


There are six basic strokes of Chinese character. They are the horizontal stroke, the vertical stroke, the left-falling stroke, the right-falling stroke, the dot and rising stroke. Other types of strokes are derived from the strokes mentioned above, and thus known as the derived strokes.

组成汉字的基本笔画有六种,即横、竖、撇、捺、点、提,其他笔画都是由这六种笔画变化而来,我们把他们叫做派生笔画。


The order of strokes for writing Chinese characters (A)

he great majority of Chinese character are formed by more than two strokes. In writing then two points should be taken notice of:

绝大多数汉字都由两个以上的笔画组成。书写汉字的时候,有两个问题必须注意:

The strokes can only be written in certain direction. For example, the horizontal stroke should only go from left to right. It would be wrong if it is done otherwise. Similarly the vertical stroke can only be written from top of bottom, never from bottom to top.

汉字的笔画具有方向性。汉字笔画的书写必须依照一定的方向运行:比如横,只能从左向右,不能从右到左;竖,只能从上向下,不能从下向上。


The strokes that are used to form a character should be written in a certain order knows as “stroke order”. For instance, in writing 十, the horizontal stroke always goes before the vertical one.

书写汉字的时候,许多笔画在一起,笔画的出现总要有先有后,先写哪一笔,再写哪一笔不是任意的,比如“十”的写法是:一、十。笔画的先后顺序是有规律的,这就是笔顺规则,简称笔顺。
