& is written clockwise from the lower right to the lower left in a method close to writing 8 characters. After writing the lower half, just turn to the upper half.
The stroke order of & is &. The stroke order rule is horizontal first and then vertical, such as "gan", left first and then stroked, such as "eight", from top to bottom, such as "lord", from From left to right, like "forest", first and then close, such as "field", first from the middle and then both sides, such as "water", from outside to inside, like: "hui", etc. For example, the stroke order of "fight" is 丿,丿丨,丿丨一,丿丨一丿,丿丨一丿乀.
Stroke order is related to the speed of writing and the quality of fonts to a certain extent. Stroke order is also important during exams. There are differences in the traditional stroke order of Chinese characters and the standard stroke order in various regions. The stroke order standard in Mainland China is the "Modern Chinese Common Character Stroke Order Standards".
Extended information:
Traditional stroke order:
Traditional stroke order was widely used in ancient times and is still used in the Chinese character culture circle today. The users are mainly scholars who know calligraphy, so it is also called the stroke order of calligraphy. By studying calligraphy works before the Republic of China, especially the works of famous calligraphers, it can be concluded that the stroke order has been recognized.
Most of these stroke orders follow word origin, glyph structure, glyph changes or ancient methods. Many characters have multiple variants (that is, multiple ways of writing them). The stroke order can be changed with the change of the fonts Zhuan, Li, Zhen, Xing and Cao.
When the horizontal and vertical characters intersect, the horizontal character is generally written first, except for the words "田" and "王". If "gan" and "sheng" are in a semi-enclosed structure, after writing "heart" or "plate", write "slanted hook, left off, dot". The two characters "Ju" and "Chen" are surrounded by three strokes (vertical first). The outer surrounding structure of other characters (such as "jiang", "bandit", "pi", "district", etc.) is two strokes (i.e. horizontal and vertical folds).
Those who are drawn horizontally in the middle and have a prominent position are written last. Such as "daughter", "dan", "mother", "wu" and "ce". The first stroke of "door" is vertical. Some Chinese characters are not written in one stroke from top to bottom. Such as the left part of the word "杝"; the same applies to the words "cha", "xiang", "zhu", "gui" and so on. The first two strokes of "禸" (róu) intersect with the horizontal hook. Such as "Yu", "Yu", "Li" and "Wan" (referring to traditional Chinese).
Taiwan stroke order:
Taiwan’s standard font is the national standard font promulgated by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China. The stroke order standard follows the "Standard Font Stroke Order Manual of Commonly Used Chinese Characters". The upper right point of "ge" is the penultimate stroke, and the left is the last stroke. The vertical stroke of "忄" is used as the second stroke. The first stroke of "成" is horizontal. (The traditional stroke order is apostrophe.)
The first stroke of "?" is horizontal in any case. Such as "left" and "right". (The traditional stroke order is based on the word origin and glyph structure. The first stroke of "left" is horizontal; the first stroke of "right" is left. Another rule is: write long and horizontal, such as "right", "you", "bu" and "xi" ;The short horizontal characters are written first, such as "zuo", "zai", "you" and "cun".
The character "chen" is written horizontally first, then the middle structure is written, and finally ***6 is written. (Traditional stroke order: first write the left vertical line, then write the upper horizontal line, then write the middle structure, and finally write the lower horizontal line. ***Seven strokes.)
