Features: This workbook is written in three calligraphic styles—regular script, running script, and cursive script—according to the "Common Table of Modern Chinese Characters" compiled by the State Language Commission and the Press and Publication Administration. The 7,000 common characters are selected based on their usage frequency, word-formation ability, and the needs of users. The layout of the workbook is innovative, arranged in the order of Hanyu Pinyin. For convenient reference, the margins are labeled with the text of the page and its Pinyin. A traditional stroke order index is also provided at the back, allowing users to choose between the two methods to suit their writing preferences.
