Practise writing the HSK 4 characters

Print free handwriting sheets for the characters that are new at HSK 4, with stroke order, pinyin and tracing boxes.

About HSK 4

HSK 4 doubles the vocabulary again, adding 1,000 words to reach 2,000 in total. It is the level where learners move from everyday survival Chinese to work, study and social life: applying for jobs, talking about the news, travel plans, feelings and opinions.

Many HSK 4 words are built from characters you already know, such as 网友 (online friend) from 网 and 友. Modern words like 扫码 (to scan a QR code), 线上 (online) and 动车 (bullet train) are new in the 2025 syllabus.

The syllabus lists 重, 空 and 生 twice, once for each reading or use. This page shows each of them once, so the table has 997 rows for the 1,000 syllabus entries.
