Stroke Orders of the Commonly Used Standard Chinese Characters (simplified Chinese: 通用规范汉字笔顺规范; traditional Chinese: 通用規範漢字筆順規範; pinyin: tōngyòng guīfàn hànzì bǐshùn guīfàn) is a language standard jointly published by the Ministry of Education and the National Language Commission of China in November, 2020.
In this order, Chinese characters are sorted by their stroke count ascendingly. A character with less strokes is put before those of more strokes. [6] For example, the different characters in "漢字筆劃, 汉字笔画 " (Chinese character strokes) are sorted into "汉(5)字(6)画(8)笔(10)[筆(12)畫(12)]漢(14)", where stroke counts are put in brackets.
永 'forever' or 'permanence', a Chinese character that represents a variety of strokes, and is often used to demonstrate the major stroke categories. Strokes (simplified Chinese: 笔画; traditional Chinese: 筆畫; pinyin: bǐhuà) are the smallest structural units making up written Chinese characters.
The order of strokes in a character, i.e., the order in which strokes are written to form a Chinese character, for example, the stroke order of character 千 is "㇓㇐㇑". Because the direction of strokes is relatively simple, people generally refer to the latter meaning when talking about stroke order. [8]
When writing a Chinese character, the trace of a dot or a line left on the writing material (such as paper) from pen-down to pen-up is called a stroke. [4] Strokes combine with each other in a Chinese character in different ways. There are three types of combinations between two strokes: [5] Separation: the strokes are separated from each other.
The GB stroke-based order, full name GB13000.1 Character Set Chinese Character Order (Stroke-Based Order) (GB13000.1字符集汉字字序（笔画序）规范), is a standard released by the State Language Commission of China in 1999. [1]
For example, in Japan, 必 is written with the top dot first, while the traditional stroke order writes the 丿 first. In the characters 王 and 玉, the vertical stroke is the third stroke in Chinese, but the second stroke in Japanese. Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau use traditional characters, though with an altered stroke order.
In the past, traditional Chinese was most often encoded on computers using the Big5 standard, which favored traditional characters. However, the ubiquitous Unicode standard gives equal weight to simplified and traditional Chinese characters, and has become by far the most popular encoding for Chinese-language text.
