This is one of papers about Chinese character teaching. The questionnaire focused on the teacher’s attentions about Chinese character handwriting teaching, especially on the students’ biases on handwriting studying. Our questionnaire sent to teachers who teach Chinese lesson in 1‐3 grades of primary school in Beijing. The Excel table show 2500 Chinese characters that must be grasped according to the Chinese curriculum standard (2011). The respondents have been asked state briefly the errors or biases of the strokes or components. Based on the preliminary analysis, the errors mainly happened as adding or losing stroke, choosing wrong component (or radical) similar with the right one, making mistakes on the strokes order. About the artistic element of handwriting, teachers mainly pay attention on the proportional balancing. The questionnaire result could be a reference for the handwriting teaching, and be material for the Chinese handwriting research. The questionnaire also hint us rethink about the appropriateness that direct stroke details written by hard‐tipped pen (pencil, pen, ballpoint pen, etc.) with the rules of soft brush writing characters in print form.
The radical part of a Chinese character is important forsearch it in a dictionary, what made radical teaching a mainly part duringChinese course for both Chinese children and students who have other mother tongue. People have named the radicals for teaching and dictionary, but according our survey, there are different names for a same radical in the primary Chinese course and some books wrote for Chinese teacher. This article brings forward several rules for name radicals and suggestsa radical name table based on <The Table of Indexing Chinese Character Component > and <Specification for Identifying Indexing Components of GB13000.1 Chinese Characters Set>. In our view, the radical name should mainly prompt clues of the conformation rules of the Chinese character, and also do favor of nice character writing, what means the character shape(structure) is more important than the meaning for a radical name.
