Chinese characters are the cultural treasures of human beings, among which the mountain character is a commonly used form, and its stroke order is also one of the basic skills that we must be familiar with in daily writing. Here, I will introduce the stroke order of Chinese characters in detail.
First of all, to understand the standard stroke order of Chinese characters, we need to start with the nine basic strokes of "horizontal, vertical, left, press, fold, hook, bend, lift and dot". These strokes constitute all radicals and combinations of Chinese characters, forming a complete Chinese character form. The word "mountain" consists of three basic sub-shapes-light, harmony and freshness. To write a mountain character, follow the following steps:
Step 1: Write the width on the left to complete two vertical and horizontal strokes: "|-"or "|-".
Step 2: Then write the first vertical on the right, which is "|".
Step 3: Write "-",paying attention to oblique writing.
Step 4: After writing, write another stroke, |, and then bend and slide upward, so that it can be connected with the first two strokes.
As can be seen from the above steps, the writing order of mountain characters is to write the vertical and horizontal on the left first, then the vertical on the right, then the strokes, and finally the lifting strokes below. Practicing calligraphy in this standard order is helpful for us to master certain writing skills and calligraphy aesthetics.
It should be noted that different fonts may also have different writing orders for Chinese characters. Some copybooks and calligraphers may fine-tune the fonts according to their own characteristics when writing. For example, writing mountain characters in official script is generally done vertically in advance in order to achieve overall beauty and sense of rhythm.
In a word, understanding the stroke order of Chinese characters, especially the nine combinations of basic strokes, is the basic skill that each of us should memorize by heart. By practicing the writing order of Chinese characters, we can not only improve the aesthetic feeling of our glyph writing, but also improve our writing speed and ability to understand the structure of Chinese characters, so as to better grasp the essence of Chinese.
