See the stroke order of the word "Shang" in primary school textbooks as shown in the picture. Everyone who studies calligraphy knows that in calligraphy, the word "Shang" should be written on the short horizontal line, then the vertical pen and finally the long horizontal line. There are many characters that are different from calligraphy strokes, such as "beard", "ear", "Wei", "skin", "cheng", "dance" and "nai".

There are many such words, so I won't go into details. So what is the cause of this problem?
People who study calligraphy know the evolution order of Chinese characters, which is roughly as follows: seal script-official script-cursive script-running script-regular script. The maturity of standardized Chinese characters (regular script) began in the Tang Dynasty. From the Tang Dynasty to the Republic of China, it has never been so easy to learn standardized Chinese characters for more than a thousand years. Among them, the stroke order of Chinese characters has been passed down regularly from the evolution of calligraphy to maturity and cannot be changed.
For example, the word "fire" advocated by the Ministry of Education now is: left point, left point, right point and hold. But when calligraphers write the word "fire", the stroke order is: left point, right point, left point and left point.
"Fire" in Wang Xizhi's Running Script
Wang Duo cursive "Fire"
As shown in the above picture, the standard word "fire" in regular script in calligraphy is written first, which is related to the origin of calligraphy development. In this way, when writing the word "fire" in regular script and learning running script and cursive script, the understanding of the rules of running script and cursive script will be smooth and natural.
For example, the word "for".
"Wei" in Wang Xizhi's running script
Wang Xizhi's cursive "Wei"

There are many such words, so I won't go into details. So what is the cause of this problem?
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chinese characters were simplified, and traditional Chinese characters that have been circulated for thousands of years were "simplified". By simplifying strokes, traditional Chinese characters and common characters are used as standard characters. 1956, Chinese mainland discussed the reform of Chinese characters, and thought that "Chinese characters are an backward font", so "it must be reformed like Latin". Therefore, simplifying Chinese characters and pinyin schemes has become the mainstream in Chinese mainland.
(Mr. Lu Xun once said: "If Chinese characters don't come out, China will die", thinking that "Chinese characters are the sharp weapon of ignorant people's policy" and "tuberculosis is for the working masses". "If you don't get rid of them first, you will only die." )
Reformers may not have a deep understanding of the origin of writing and the history of calligraphy, and even they are wrong so far. In the compulsory education stage, educators can only teach the problem of stroke order according to the standard of stroke order, emphasizing that there is only one correct stroke order (from the perspective of calligraphy, the stroke order of individual words is inconsistent in the eyes of different calligraphers, such as the word "Cheng". ), which is very misleading to the educated. (The author has a deep understanding in the teaching process), how to explain people's sleepiness clearly?
