How to use this list
HSK 2: the handwriting starting line
All 100 characters on this page are new at HSK 2. Start with stroke order and how the parts fit inside the square: trace a character once, then hide the example and write it from memory.
You do not need to finish the whole list in one sitting. Practice comes in groups of 10 characters, and the practice page keeps your progress in this browser.
Level guidance is study advice, not an official exam guarantee. Counts follow the official 2025 HSK writing list.
