Chinese strokes

Let's introduce the Chinese Simplified Stroke Order. We will learn about the simplified hanzi stroke order, which can differ from the traditional stroke order. This standardization is used in mainland China, except Hong Kong. Taiwan and other countries like Vietnam or Japan have their own stroke order.


There are some rules to follow, but there are some exceptions too. Then we will name this rules as guidelines instead.

Chinese Stroke Order Guidelines

1. Write from top to bottom, from left to right. This is the first and most important guideline to follow the right stroke order.



2. Horizontal before vertical. When horizontal and vertical strokes cross, horizontal strokes are usually written before vertical strokes.



3. Diagonal right-to-left strokes are written before diagonal left-to-right strokes. This is for symmetric diagonal strokes.



4. Center vertical before outside strokes. In symmetrical characters vertical strokes are written before components on the left or right.




5. Enclosures strokes are written before inside contents. Follow the other guidelines, from left to right and from top to bottom. Bottom strokes in the enclosure are written last if present. This enclosure shapes are always written like in the example, remember it. 



6. Dots and minor strokes are usually written last. There are exceptions when these minor strokes are at the top of the character.

Research published in 2016 suggests that there's a link between childhood intelligence and openness to experience — which encompasses intellectual curiosity — in adulthood. Below are traits common to intelligent people that might help you single out the individuals with the highest I.Q.    1.

WHERE IN THE WORD IS "KLAUS"

I'm so bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss this guy so much, i started downloading so many super hero series to enjoy watching a villain killing and antagonizing the heroes. So far i have watched #Supernatural, #Smallville, #Super Girl, #Phineas and Ferb, #The Flash, #Gotham and #Arrow to name a few up to their most current episodes, and there was no bad guy i enjoyed watching as much as i enjoy watching Klaus . Sadly, really sadly, none of the villains are master planners like Klaus . They were all easily and less tactically defeated.  It is really sad. I miss Klaus so much, Why OH why did they move it to next year? and to top that there even went further to reduce the episodes. Last year i had similar experience, but then i went on a romantic heroes marathon, as i was left on a cliff hanger on Klamille, but now Camille is dead!!!  Which is why, this time i moved on to the Villains, which it seems isn't working well for me. So now looking at the heroes in all the
