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.
The stroke order rules of Chinese characters are: horizontal before vertical (such as "stem"), left before bottom (such as "eight"), top-down (such as "main"), left-right (such as "forest"), advanced after collection (such as "field"), middle before both sides (such as "main"). Such as "Battle", its stroke order is 丠 丠 丠.
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 period and region. For example, Chinese mainland's standard for the order of commonly used words in modern Chinese.
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.
