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 and right (such as "forest"), advanced after collection (such as "field"), middle before both sides (such as "water").
For example, "Zhan", the order of strokes is one, two, four, four, four and four. The order of strokes is related to the writing speed and the quality of fonts to some extent.
It is also important to write in order during the exam. There are differences between the traditional stroke order of Chinese characters and the standard stroke order in different regions. Chinese mainland's stroke order standard is the stroke order standard of commonly used words in modern Chinese.
