General Rules for Chinese

Writing Formats
One Word Per Box
• Always have one word per box. No exceptions.

One Box Per Punctuation
• All punctuations, whether, periods, semi-colons, colons, commas,
whatever, have one box each. In Chinese, they are somewhat
considered words.

Skip 2 Boxes for New Paragraphs, then
Follow Through
• Whenever you’re going to write new paragraphs, always remember to
skip 2 boxes, before starting to write. After that, though, for the next
line, just simply follow through, without skipping 2 boxes. This follows
for all types of writing: letters, essays, etc. It only doesn’t work, as of
now, for advertisements, where you don’t skip boxes.

Start at the Topmost Line
• Always start at the topmost line for your essay. Do not skip lines
anywhere for aesthetic purposes. You will get subtractions for that in
your format.
When Starting a New Paragraph, Do Not
Skip a Line
• Just start the next paragraph on the next line, skipping two boxes, and
following through. Even though your “paragraph” only contains 2
words, or one sentence, start with a fresh line, without skipping any
lines.
