The origin of the strokes is not a legend. The strokes come from: the "General Printing Chinese Character Glyph Form" issued by the Ministry of Culture and the Chinese Character Reform Commission on January 30, 1965, and the National Language and Character Working Committee in March 1988.
The "Modern Chinese Common Character List" issued by the Press and Publication Administration of the People's Republic of China stipulates five categories of basic strokes: horizontal, vertical, apostrophe, dot, and fold.
Extended information: How to use strokes: Strokes are mainly used in retrieving Chinese characters in dictionaries or in the Chinese character input method for inputting Chinese characters on electronic devices such as computers or mobile phones.
For example: 1. The stroke search index in Zuo Min'an's "Chinese Characters in Detail".
2. Four-corner code index, which was mainly used in the publishing industry for typesetting and dictionary checking in the early days. The coding principle of the four-corner code is to divide the basic strokes of Chinese characters (including single strokes and multi-strokes) into 10 types, using 1, 2, 3, and
The ten numbers 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0 represent, and the stroke codes of the four corners of the Chinese character are taken in order as the encoding of the Chinese character.
3. Stroke input method, a coding method used to input Chinese characters on electronic devices such as computers or mobile phones.
There are two Chinese characters with the most strokes in Unicode, and also the Chinese characters with the most strokes included in traditional dictionaries: one is the character "?" (composed of four traditional "dragon" characters, pronounced zhé), with a total of 64 characters, included
In "Dictionary Supplement" and "Chinese Dictionary".
The other one also belongs to the 64th painting and is the character "?" (composed of four traditional Chinese characters for "Xing", pronounced zhèng), which is included in the "Chinese Dictionary", "Chinese Dictionary", etc.
