Blank paper, with just enough guidance.

Blank Chinese writing paper, sometimes called hanzi paper, gives you room to recall a word without a printed answer beside it. Use the editor above to choose a grid and cell size, then print one full page. Switching to blank paper keeps your saved word list intact.

Which grid should I use?

GridWhat it showsTry it for
Field · 田字格 (tián zì gé)A square divided into four quartersChecking the centre and the balance of components
Rice · 米字格 (mǐ zì gé)Horizontal, vertical and diagonal guidesComparing diagonal placement and overall proportions
Plain squareThe outside boundary onlyWriting with fewer visual prompts

Print Chinese handwriting paper in the size you need

Choose Blank practice paper, then select Letter for 8.5 × 11 inch paper or A4 for 210 × 297 mm. Choose 18 mm cells for more writing space, 14 mm for a middle size, or 12 mm for a denser page. The preview fills the printable area with whole rows; it does not stretch cells to fit.

Leave the title as a lesson name, or add a date such as “Week 2 · recall”. To keep a reusable copy, follow the Save as PDF instructions. Print at actual size so a 14 mm cell stays 14 mm on paper.

Use the empty page for a quick recall check

  1. Write three to five words from a recent lesson.
  2. Cover the original list. Write the words again using only their meanings as prompts.
  3. Compare each attempt with a trusted model, and mark the component that needs attention.

When you need a model next to the grid, switch the worksheet type back to Word list & tracing, or open the custom practice sheet editor.

Can I download blank Chinese writing practice paper as PDF?

Yes. Select Print / Save PDF and choose Save as PDF in the browser dialog. Set the paper size to match the editor, scale to 100%, and disable browser headers and footers.

Does switching to blank paper delete my words?

No. The word list is kept in this browser. Switch the worksheet type back to Word list & tracing to see it again.
