1Handwritten Chinese characters can be beautiful. I still remember looking at Chi⁃nese and not understanding anything it said and yet feeling a strong sense of beauty.Living in a digital era with smartphones and computers, most students sooner or later ask them⁃selves this question:Is it really necessary to learn how to write by hand in Chinese?
2First of all,knowing how to write Chinese characters by hand is just cool.It feels like magic when you write a few strokes (笔画) on paper that don"t normally make sense, but they suddenly come together and create a meaning.And amazingly,you can understand it.
3Second,handwriting characters is a form of meditation (冥想).Once you learn how to stay focused, you will not only notice that your concentration skills improve, but you will also find yourself feeling calm and relaxed when writing characters.
4Third, handwriting characters trains your muscle memory, making characters stay longer in your memory and improving your reading and speaking skills. You can manage without handwriting characters and learn Chinese to a certain level, but without knowing how to write characters by hand, you are very unlikely to reach a level above intermediate(中等的).
5Most people agree that we should learn to write at least some characters at some point as a student of Chinese. But unless you don"t care about written language at all, you should learn the basics of handwriting. Without it, it will be very hard to understand char⁃acters. You don"t need to be a calligraphy (书法) master, but you do need basic handwrit⁃ing skills to do this.Simply looking at things is,as usual,a bad way of learning.
6Learning the most common 500 characters or so is a good idea for all students.If you actually want to write by hand,extend that to 1,000.Then learn to write characters by hand outside of the 1,000 most common on a need⁃to⁃know basis.
