Which stroke to write first and which stroke to write later in a word is called stroke order. The stroke order is the writing order of Chinese strokes, and its basic rules are: first horizontal, then vertical, first left and then pressed, from top to bottom, from left to right, from outside to inside, first inside and then sealed, first middle and then both sides.
