Chinese Handwriting Samples

June 25, 2011, 12:24 AM posted in General DiscussionI didn't write these myself, but I find them a bit fascinating. Hope nobody minds if I share.
This was written on my hospital record last time I went to the doctor. Even the native speakers I asked were unable to decipher after the first part of "头有压力感." Could it be that doctor scribble is a universal trait? 
Some notes written by a 50 something year old woman on the show 养生堂. (A goodie for any of those out there interested in 中药)
And finally the musings of a 20 something year old guy. He has some of the most legible adult writing I have seen. While I prefer this type of writing because I can understand it, he tells me that his writing isn't really considered 好看 by Chinese people.

This looks cool but can you make it bigger? 我看不清楚.

Baba, I gotta come clean - this is the writing practice I've been talking about that primary school kids are required to do (see my post of the book under 'writing books' .. I'm just tracing the characters inside the boxes. But it does develop your writing gradually ..

噢，怪不得那么完美

哇，你有多么努力！佩服。
No wonder some Chinese have such beautiful writing then! That's what the kids do there (Japanese kids don't do this much tracing if any I'm pretty sure). I want to get those writing books. Thanks for sharing your real actual practice sheets, annotations and all. That's priceless stuff Bodawei.

那里那里。。:) My writing unconstrained by little boxes is not pretty like yours.. :(
Actually this is a tricky post - one is mine, one is by a 25 year old native Chinese.. :)

我猜上面是你的朋友的， 下面是你的，对不对？
zhenlijiang
Is Baba right? I guess I guess so too.
bodawei
对对对。。 :)
