There have been controversies, dilemmas, and even paradoxes of normalizing the stroke sequences as adopted by scholars and people in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and other Mandarin speaking countries. If we have examined carefully and broadly the Chinese calligraphy writing, documents, and letters of ancient times, we will understand why different people write in different sequences.

Thank you for watching.

I can't help but notice your stroke order for 艹. Why do you write it that way?

[artvirtue]

There are alternative stroke orders for some section headers. They might be different between calligraphers and different styles and sub-styles of Kai Shu, Li Shu, Hsin Shu, or Zhuan Shu.

[001Asoer]

OK. Does Pei Xiu write it that way?

[artvirtue]

Thank you for your concern. There have been controversies, dilemmas, and paradoxes of normalizing the stroke sequences as used in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. I have included some links in more info. I am not sure whether Pei Xiu, Ouyang Xun, or other masters preferred certain stroke orders or they had alternatives. (Personally, I write the stroke sequences of "Grass" Section Headers in alternative ways in different styles and sub-styles. The one shown here is not my only preferred way.)
