The core aim of this book is to help Chinese language learners master the rules for writing Chinese characters and write Chinese characters correctly. The book includes more than 3,600 characters, covering characters required in various Chinese teaching syllabuses.

The book is divided into:

2) List of non-character-forming characters (mainly the phonetic or semantic components of compound characters), which explains the stroke order of each component and its variants as well as its position and shape (narrower, slimmer, flatter, etc.) in characters;
3) List of simple character-forming components (single-component characters), explaining the stroke order of each component and its position and shape (narrower, slimmer, flatter, etc.) in characters;
4) List of the structures and component order of compound characters, providing the pinyin, number of strokes, formation method, component order, common position and shape in characters, etc. of each character.
