The stroke order of each word observed in calligraphy
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 period and region. For example, Chinese mainland's standard for the order of commonly used words in modern Chinese.

The eight-character method is the rule of China's calligraphy. Taking the eight-stroke sequence of the word "Yong" as an example, this paper expounds the method of writing in block letters: the point is the side, the side front is steep, and the strokes are unfolded enough to close the front; Cross for fun, against the front of the paper, slowly rushing back, not flat with the front; Straight pen is an effort, not too straight. If it is too straight, it will be stiff and weak, but it must be straight and look at the curve.
The hook is a pin (t √), and the front end of the pen is raised to concentrate the force on the nib; Raising the horizontal is the strategy, the stroke is straight, and the effective force is at the end of the stroke; Long left for the prey, straight strokes, slightly fat front, force to send; Short skimming is pecking, writing left, fast and sharp; Hold the pen as a stroke (zhé), the front falls lightly, the front spreads slowly, and the front stays.
For regular script, the correct stroke order can ensure that the main strokes in the whole word are not wrong. Take the word "fire" as an example, you must first write the dots on both sides, and then write the left and right in the middle. The third stroke is the main stroke of the whole word, which should be stretched and able to hold up the momentum of the whole word.
Running script is a shortcut to writing regular script. What matters is the speed of writing. Be fluent and charming. Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion is called the best running script in the world because of its "neat stippling, flowing clouds and flowing water" and "flowing clouds and flowing water, as swift as a dragon". The wrong stroke order affects the speed.
As for cursive script, it is more flexible than running script and requires higher writing speed. Some words have been divorced from the shadow of regular script, resulting in their unique concise writing. If you don't pay attention to the order of strokes, the cursive script written is easy to be irregular and illegible. As far as some words are concerned, if the stroke order is wrong, the word can't be written at all.
