Stroke order is a basic rule that people have summarized for convenience based on their writing posture and writing habits, and through long-term exploration when writing. The stroke order in daily writing is basically the same as that of the brush, but whether it is consistent with the stroke order of the brush is not the key to correctness. Because the calligraphy pen is a soft pen, and in the past calligraphy was written vertically, we now basically write with a hard pen and horizontally, so it is not surprising that the stroke order of some characters has changed to make this writing method smoother. .
Taking "Lanting Preface" as an example, let's talk about the five basic stroke order rules in daily writing: red first, then green, the old rule.
1. Up first and then down
2. First left and then right
3. First horizontally and then vertically
4. Leave first and then suppress
5. First outside and then inside
