Paper for writing chinese characters

[oly2006]

Hello!

I want to buy paper for writing chinese characters and I can't find something like that in my country.

I would like to search online, or maybe you already know a place where to buy it online, but I don't know what it is called in english this kind of paper.

The only thing I know for it it is the pyinin:" tian2 ze4 ge2 "

Can you please help me to find this kind of paper ?

Thank you a lot!

You have three options:

1. Go to China or have friend in China buy you the paper in a bookshop.

2. Go to a bookshop in Chinatown and buy the paper.

3. Or go to this website and print out your own Chinese Character Worksheet:

Problem solved.

The link you have gaved me is very usefull, just printed a page and looks great.

Xiexie!

Bu keqi. Now go write "xie xie" ten times, on your newly printed paper.

Don't write "xie xie!" Write 謝.

[Meng Lelan]

Or 谢 if you are learning 简体字.

Actually I do have character practice paper that has the squares for the characters and lined boxes under each square for writing the corresponding pinyin. For very young children who are learning both characters and pinyin.

Do you have that kind of format online ? Or scanned? Because to get used with the character and to remember pyinin I write it near that box and it's not so nice .

Also check out http://www.incompetech.com/graphpaper/, they have sheets for Chinese characters at the bottom of the page. A few different options and you can customize the size and color.

I find this style very helpful:

The diagonal lines help a non-artist like me better understand how to proportion/balance/whatever some characters.

I am in a serious need of chinese grid papers to practice my handwriting on. I Tried to search for some online , but most of them had the X's inside of them and i haaaaaaaate those they drive my eyes crazy i found this one

but when i printed it it came out like a picture, so it wasn't really good enough , other than that though it was PERFECT others i found were either too big , or too small. I have to practice writing everyday now cause i want to study in china next year if i pass the HSK 4. Any suggestions. Thanks a bunch!!

Have a look here. It might fit your needs. Several styles available, with adjustable features. http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/writing.html

Merged. The first page of this thread should provide you will several options. See also this thread here.

If you have a vector graphics editor like Adobe Illustrator, you can make your own grids. I've made a few. I attached one named "Inobtrusive Writing Paper." It's suitable for a variety of writing sizes, and I find it useful for making casual writing look neater without obtrusive rules. I meant it to be used like this:

As there are no vertical limits (except the page) it can also be used with cursive.
