When beginners of Chinese characters struggle with stroke placement, the Tianzi grid (field grid) provides precise writing references through its cross-shaped dividing lines. This tool generates printable Tianzi grid templates based on vector algorithms. It supports standard paper sizes like A4, A3, and B5, and allows millimeter-level adjustments for each grid to help users standardize the structural proportions of Chinese characters.
Q: What should I do if the printed grid lines are blurry?
Ensure you select the vector PDF format for output and use a printer with at least 300 dpi.
Q: What is the standard size for a Tianzi grid?
The educational system recommends 2cm × 2cm grids for beginners and 1.5cm × 1.5cm for advanced practice.
We recommend printing a test page for your first generation to check if the margins fit your printer. A large 2cm grid is recommended for children beginners, while adults practicing calligraphy can use smaller 1.2-1.5cm grids.
The center lines of a Tianzi grid should occupy 1/3 of the grid's height, which is a key reference for judging writing proportions. A typical setup example: A4 paper / 15 rows / 10 columns / 2cm grid / 0.5pt black lines. This perfectly accommodates 150 standard regular script (Kaishu) practice characters.
