HSK 3.0 Chinese Character Syllabus

The HSK 3.0 Chinese Character Syllabus splits its required characters into two learning categories. Recognize characters — read and understand them, but you are not required to write them by hand. Writing characters — besides recognizing them, you should be able to write them, with their structure and stroke order shown. Each character also links to the words it forms (word radiation), turning a single character into vocabulary you can use. Browse the HSK 3.0 character list by level and type below.
