Although the stroke width of bold characters is the same, it cannot be absolute. Depending on the number of strokes in bold, it can't be the same. Chinese characters are generally more horizontal and less vertical. Some strokes are too many, and when writing, they will be blocked and can't be written; And words with few strokes feel empty even if they have the same width. Therefore, it is necessary to make appropriate adjustments between the long and short strokes, the horizontal and vertical strokes, and the thick and thin strokes to achieve the overall unified and coordinated effect. In addition, when writing in bold, the two ends and tips of the strokes should be properly strengthened to make them more thick and powerful.
