绝大多数的汉字都是由两个以上笔画组成，书写汉字的时候，有两个问题必须注意：
The great majority of Chinese characters are formed by more than two strokes. In writing them two points should be taken notice of:

汉字的笔画具有方向性。汉字笔画的书写必须依照一定的方向运行：比如横，只能从左向右，不能从右向左，竖，只能从上到下，不能从下到上。
The strokes can only be written in certain directions. For example, the horizontal stroke should only go from letf to right. It would be wrong if it is done otherwise. Similarly the vertical stroke can only be written from top to bottom, never from bottom to top.

书写汉字时，许多笔画在一起，笔画的出现总要有先有后，先写哪一笔再写哪一笔不是任意的，比如“十”的写法是：先写“一”再写“丨”。笔画的先后顺序是有规律的，这就是笔顺规则，简称笔顺。
The strokes that are used to from a character should be written in a certain order known as “stroke order”, for instance, in writing 十, the horizontal stroke always goes before the vertical one.

笔顺安排的基本规则有 
Basis Rules of Stroke Order：
1、先横后竖：十、于、丰、干、丁、 等。含上述字或部件的字，如木、芋、艳、刊、花、羊等，也是如此。
Write the horizontal stroke first and then the vertical stroke. For example, characters like 十、于、丰、干、丁, etc.; also characters that contain these parts, such as 木、芋、艳、刊、花、羊 and so on.
2、先撇后捺：人、八、入、木等。含上述字或部件的字，如大、分、树、艾等，也是如此。由于汉字中没有捺起笔的字，所以撇与捺不论是相交、相离、相接，书写时都是先撇后捺。
Write the left-falling stroke first and then the right-falling stroke. For example, characters like人、八、入、木, etc.; also characters that contain these parts, such as 大、分、树、艾 and so on. There are no Chinese characters starting with the right-falling stroke. So no matter the left-falling stroke intersects, parts or links with the right-falling stroke, the left-falling stroke first and then the right-falling stroke in writing sequence.
3、 先上后下：二、丁、立、李、昌、亨等。部分独体字和上下结构上中下结构的字一般遵从此规则。
Write the top first and then the bottom. For example, characters like      二、丁、立、李、昌、亨, etc.
4、 先左后右：一些独体字、左右结构、左中右结构的字，大部分是从左到右。如川、州、旧、构、部、树、衍、樊（上部）等。
Write the left first and then the right. For example, characters like  川、州、旧、构、部、树、衍、樊(the upper part), etc.
5、 先外后内：汉字的部分独体字和包围结构的字，绝大多数是先外后内。如月、母、同、凤、凡、用、叉、厅、历、虱、氢、勉、毯、赴、旭等。
Write the outside first and then the inside. For example, characters like月、母、同、凤、凡、用、叉、厅、历、虱、氢、勉、毯、赴、旭, etc.
