Stroke order is the full name of stroke order. The stroke order rules of Chinese characters are: first horizontal, then vertical, first left, then down, from top to bottom, from left to right, first advanced, then closed, first middle, then both sides, and from outside to inside.
Whether the stroke order is correct or not is related to the speed of writing and the quality of fonts to a certain extent. It is also important to write in order during the exam. However, due to the differences in stroke order between ancient and modern Chinese characters and in different regions,
Strictly speaking, there is no absolutely correct and unified stroke order of Chinese characters, only the "relatively correct" stroke order stipulated in a certain area for a period of time. For example, Chinese mainland's standard for the order of commonly used words in modern Chinese.
At present, the governments of Chinese mainland, Taiwan Province Province and Japan all have a set of stroke order standards for school teaching. The rules of stroke order followed by these standards are basically the same, but there are also differences, which are not completely consistent with the traditional stroke order.
These standards are different from the traditional stroke order because of the needs of school teaching. If the stroke order is too complicated, or there are too many typos, students may be at a loss.
The traditional stroke order, which was widely used in ancient times, is still used in the cultural circle of Chinese characters today. Users are mainly scholars who understand calligraphy, so it is also called calligraphy stroke order. By studying the calligraphy works before the Republic of China, especially the works of famous calligraphers, we can draw the conclusion that the order of strokes has been recognized.
Most of these strokes follow etymology, glyph structure, glyph changes or ancient methods. Many words have many variants (that is, many ways of writing). The stroke order can change with the change of font seal, official script, truth, line and grass. The standard font of Taiwan Province Province is the national standard font of Chinese characters promulgated by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China.
The stroke order standard follows the Manual of Stroke Order of Common Chinese Characters. Japanese standard fonts are commonly used Chinese characters promulgated by the Ministry of Education, including the new Japanese fonts promulgated by 1946.
The standard fonts in the Mainland are standardized Chinese characters promulgated by People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Ministry of Education, including simplified Chinese characters promulgated by 1956. The stroke order standard follows the stroke order standard of commonly used characters in modern Chinese.
