The Chinese writing system is distinguished by a three-level graphic structure. The lowest unit is a stroke, the highest a whole character.

With regard to this possibility, different terms could be used to express the specific approaches. However, the Chinese grammatologists are not quite of one mind in the usage of these terms. The aim of this article is to point out the diversity of possible approaches that could be used while analyzing the complex arrangement of the graphic level between stroke and character.
