Research on Handwritten Chinese Characters in Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education

As the top-level design of international Chinese language education in the new stage, the Chinese Proficiency Standards for International Chinese Language Education proposes that the four basic elements of syllables, Chinese characters, vocabulary and grammar constitute the "four-dimensional benchmark". A list of handwritten Chinese characters is listed separately, and separate requirements for handwritten Chinese characters are made. This paper analyzes the necessity of handwriting Chinese characters, and studies handwritten Chinese characters from various perspectives, such as grading and quantity, relationship with the general Chinese character list, word formation ability, and configuration characteristics. It is found that handwritten Chinese characters have been highly commonly used and have strong word formation ability. The configuration is typical and simple, and the writing difficulty is relatively low.
